‘We need more players’ – Iraola stresses need for Liverpool transfers

Syndicated reporting provided by Stats Perform and reviewed by the SoccerNews editorial team.

Liverpool know they have work to do in the transfer market, so says new boss Andoni Iraola.

Former Bournemouth coach Iraola succeeded Arne Slot last month, following the Dutchman’s departure at the end of a disappointing season.

With Slot having won the Premier League in 2024-25, Liverpool spent big last summer in building up their squad.

Trent Alexander-Arnold left, but Alexander Isak arrived for a record-breaking fee, after the big-money additions of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez.

However, with stalwarts Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah having left, along with Ibrahima Konate, Liverpool are set to be busy again as they look to build for their first campaign under Iraola.

Jeremy Jacquet has now completed his move from Rennes, which was agreed last season, while the Reds pipped Newcastle United to the signing of winger Victor Munoz.

Iraola, though, says Liverpool must continue to improve their squad.

He told reporters: “Obviously we’ve signed two players already but we need more players, we know this.

“The club is working on this. Me as a coach, selfishly I want the players here from day one ready to train for pre-season but understand football doesn’t work like this.

“I know the club is working hard for those signings and I’m trying to help also.”

Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola and RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa are among Liverpool’s reported targets.
