All Liverpool players are back at Anfield.

As Liverpool's pre-season draws to a close, attention is increasingly focused on their midfield options, particularly amid speculation over potential new signings.

Head coach Arne Slot recently addressed the matter, noting that while the club is always vigilant about transfer opportunities, no definitive moves have been made yet.

Slot, speaking after Liverpool's 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the US, acknowledged that sporting director Richard Hughes is working diligently to identify potential signings, especially a new defensive midfielder.

Despite the flurry of speculation, Liverpool has yet to secure a new addition, and this has left fans eagerly awaiting their first signing of the summer.

Currently, Liverpool's midfield options include several players who have shown promise but also raise questions about their suitability for the team’s demands.

Wataru Endo, who was a key signing last summer, seems to be on the fringes. He started just once in three US tour games and was substituted at halftime during the 1-0 win over Real Betis.

This limited involvement, coupled with an £11.8 million bid from Marseille already rejected, suggests that Endo could be sold if the right offer arrives.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch, however, have been favored in the midfield.

Szoboszlai showcased his abilities against Arsenal, while Gravenberch impressed in the match against Manchester United.

Slot highlighted Gravenberch’s effective performance in the defensive midfield role during these pre-season matches, suggesting he could be a viable option if Liverpool does not sign a new No. 6.

With the transfer window still open and no new signings yet, all eyes will be on Liverpool to see if they will bolster their squad.

The club’s ability to secure a top-tier defensive midfielder could significantly influence their success in the upcoming season.
