For Arne Slot, it’s only a matter of time before he lifts the Premier League trophy, and Liverpool are favored to win both the EFL Cup and the Champions League this season.
However, once the season ends, the focus shifts to their transfer window, where Liverpool’s real challenges begin.
With star player Mohamed Salah likely to leave this summer, the FSG will be in the market for new forwards.
Liverpool’s record signing, Darwin Nunez has struggled to justify his price tag in what is now his third season at the club.
With speculation surrounding his future, there is one forward from the Uruguayan’s neighboring country, one who might be a perfect fit for the Merseyside club.
Julian Alvarez has featured in 41 games for Atletico Madrid this season, delivering an impressive 27 goal contributions (22 goals and 5 assists) across all competitions.

The Spanish club acquired Alvarez from Manchester City in 2024 for €95 million, making him their second-most expensive signing after Joao Felix, who joined for €127.2 million in 2019.
Liverpool could explore a swap deal involving Nunez, especially with reports suggesting they have already proposed a similar offer for Alexander Isak.
With a domestic treble, a World Cup, and Premier League experience under his belt, the prospect of Alvarez joining Liverpool makes perfect sense, if Atletico are willing to negotiate.
The Argentine recently scored a stunning goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16, a glimpse of his immense potential.
Already revered as La Araña (Spider-Man) by Atletico fans, perhaps it’s time for him to weave his web at Anfield.
