Respected journalist James Pearce has provided fresh insight into Liverpool’s transfer strategy, confirming that the club is not currently targeting a striker, midfielder, or winger, despite ongoing speculation.
Instead, Pearce revealed that Liverpool’s recruitment focus is aimed at other key areas of the squad. The priority is to add depth and balance in positions that need reinforcement, rather than pursuing another high-profile attacking player.
This news comes as a surprise to many supporters, who had expected the Reds to strengthen their attack with another forward or midfield addition before the close of the summer transfer window.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool appear committed to a calculated and strategic approach. The aim is to ensure the squad has the right balance to compete on all fronts, with stability and long-term value taking precedence over short-term attacking signings.
Pearce’s confirmation has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Some feel reassured, pointing to Liverpool’s already strong attacking options, while others still hope the club will make room for one more marquee forward.
For now, one thing is clear: Liverpool’s transfer priorities do not include a striker, midfielder, or winger — their focus lies firmly elsewhere on the pitch.
