Report: Liverpool transfer news: Arne Slot approves move for top summer target as Liverpool are reportedly preparing to complete the deal before the deadline day…



Arne Slot supports the pursuit of a key summer target in the Liverpool transfer update.


 



According to reports, Liverpool is stepping up its attempts to sign one of its top targets during the next summer transfer window.



 

In addition to vying for trophies in other competitions, Arne Slot and his team are currently focused on winning just the second Premier League title in the club’s history.



 


Even though Liverpool leads their closest rivals by six points with one game remaining, they still need to carefully think through their summer transfer plan.

 

There are questions regarding the performance of some team members because important players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all scheduled to have their contracts expire.

 

According to TEAMtalk, club officials are ready to start talks for one of their top targets before the 2025–2026 campaign begins.

 

Does Liverpool have an eye on Hato?

According to the report, before the winter transfer window ends on February 3, Liverpool may consider making a move for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato.

 

Given Ajax’s desire to win trophies, this scenario seems unlikely, but the Dutch team might be able to sell the Netherlands international.

 

Liverpool is said to have accelerated talks with Ajax due to interest from teams like Real Madrid and Chelsea.

 

Although Ajax would prefer to keep the 18-year-old in Amsterdam for the time being, they might consider an offer of about €30 million (£25.23 million).

 

Despite being young, Hato has already made 29 appearances for Ajax in the 2024–25 season, bringing his total to 92 first-team games.

 

With one game remaining, Ajax is currently four points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven after a dismal Eredivisie campaign the previous year.

 

What role does Slot play in Hato’s story?

 

According to reports, Slot, who knows Hato from his time at Feyenoord, is a fan of the young player who can play both left and centre back.

 

The addition of competition on the flanks could be beneficial, especially considering Andrew Robertson’s inconsistent performances and the uncertainty surrounding Kostas Tsimikas as a potential long-term replacement for the Scotland international.

 

Furthermore, with Ibrahima Konate’s contract expiring in less than 18 months, Liverpool may need to prioritize bolstering their central defense.
