The new era at Liverpool means there is more potential than there has been in a long time for the unexpected to happen in the transfer window, including what could be one of the most surprising deals of the summer.
Liverpool transfer news
It's certainly a busy time at Anfield right now, with Jurgen Klopp's farewell preparations balanced with finalizing Arne Slot's arrival and everything in between. Off the pitch, FSG's changes have continued following the return of Michael Edwards, which has reportedly seen Julian Ward return as the club's new technical director.
It's a great squad assembled by FSG and they can only hope to lead Liverpool to more success even without Klopp. It is also a group that is reported to be releasing some of the biggest hits of the summer.

Ward & Slot could now make Liverpool's “special” talent pass Nunez
The Anfield star could go from strength to strength in his new spell at the club.
According to The Daily Star via The Express, Liverpool are keen to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United this summer in a deal worth at least £100m. Gordon, a young Liverpool fan, left Everton for the Magpies in 2023, but could now deal the Toffees another blow by ending his dream move to Anfield.
The Reds know all about Gordon's quality, especially Trent Alexander-Arnold. It was a mistake by the right-back that led to Gordon's goal against Liverpool at St James' Park earlier this season, before Darwin Nunez doubled Klopp's side's lead and wrapped up the scoring in dramatic style. However, Gordon is still more than standing despite the final result.
“Fearless” Gordon can replace Diaz
Still only 23 years old, Gordon has earned more than his reported £60k-a-week contract at Newcastle this season and is quickly becoming the main man under Eddie Howe.
Even before his current spell, the winger was receiving high praise from Magpies legend Alan Shearer, who told Chronicle Live: “A young man who has been stirring up excitement is Anthony Gordon. Everton fans have longed for a midfielder who has shown passion and skill in a difficult season for the Toffees.
“I am impressed by his fearless attitude, he is not afraid to go inside and tries to make things go forward, putting a lot of crosses into the box.”
It's that kind of attitude that Liverpool will need in abundance at the start of their new season and the kind that could see Gordon jostle for a place with Luis Diaz all the way if he ends up at Anfield.
