Barcelona deal, £145m spending spree - Liverpool summer transfers predicted by AI

Liverpool are being predicted to have a busy summer transfer window ahead of Arne Slot's first year in charge.

Slot is the new head coach of the Reds and will take charge of pre-season training later this month. Liverpool will travel to the United States for three friendly fixtures before facing Sevilla at Anfield in their final match before the start of the new Premier League campaign.

The summer transfer window has been open for a few weeks, but Liverpool are yet to complete their first signing. That has not stopped rumours circulating that the Reds could be in the market for several potential new additions to their squad.

With the transfer rumours mill already in full swing, AI has now got involved to predict how the summer may pan out. SafeBettingSites has predicted which players may join new clubs using an AI tool, with some deals involving Liverpool.

According to the prediction, Liverpool will sign three new players this summer. One of the predictions sees the Reds apparently in the running to sign Barcelona star Raphinha.

Liverpool were linked with the Brazilian before his move to the Camp Nou from Leeds United. Now AI has predicted that the Reds will complete a £55 million deal to sign Raphinha this summer.

Another prediction has tipped Liverpool to sign defender Milan Skriniar. The Slovakia international only signed for Paris Saint-Germain last summer from Inter Milan, but has been predicted to complete a £50 million move to Anfield.

The final transfer that Liverpool have been predicted to make is for Borussia Dortmund star Donyell Malen. The versatile forward is currently starring for the Netherlands at Euro 2024 but has been tipped to complete a £40 million move to link up with Slot's squad this summer.

As a result, AI has predicted that Liverpool will spend £145 million on the signing of three new players. None of the predictions involve the Reds signing a midfielder, which could be due to the club's business last summer.

Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai were all signed 12 months ago to strengthen Liverpool's midfield options. This summer has seen centre-back and a wide forward the two positions that the Reds could bring in reinforcements, but it remains to be seen if Slot and new sporting director Richard Hughes will look to make any new additions.
