Liverpool’s remarkable campaign under new manager Arne Slot has propelled them to the top of the Premier League standings with 35 points, enjoying a comfortable seven-point lead over second-placed Chelsea.

Slot’s impact has also been felt in Europe, where Liverpool have dominated the Champions League, winning all ive of their group-stage matches.

With the January transfer window approaching, Liverpool are reportedly targeting Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong to reinforce their squad and sustain their momentum across all competitions.

As reported by Football365, the Dutch international is seen as a potential successor to Ryan Gravenberch, who has drawn significant interest from Real Madrid.

Liverpool are believed to be preparing a €40 million offer for de Jong, aiming to leverage his current situation at Barcelona. Arne Slot has reportedly advocated for the signing personally.

The 27-year-old endured a tough previous season, missing 47 games for club and country due to an ankle injury.
