Liverpool’s consistent pursuit of silverware has taken center stage this season as they sit on top of the Premier League table under new manager Arne Slot. Despite a fine start, the Reds face pressing questions about the futures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contracts expire at the end of the season.
With January approaching, the club is reportedly eyeing reinforcements to maintain momentum and support a squad that’s already among the league’s best before the transfer window shuts. While several pundits wrote off the Reds before the season even began due to having a new manager, the team has defied the odds so far this season.
Under Slot’s aggressive tactics, Liverpool has one of the most dominant defenses in the league, leading in clean sheets, and is tied for fourth place in overall goals scored. The team has identified a handful of young players to replace potentially departing stars, most recently without contract extensions for the three club cornerstones.
Pulisic, the U.S. Men’s National Team captain under new manager Mauricio Pochettino, is reportedly drawing attention from Liverpool, Manchester United, and West Ham United. Currently having one of his best seasons at AC Milan, Pulisic is no stranger to England’s top flight, having previously scored 20 goals in 98 league appearances for Chelsea.
With Pulisic in form, including netting in five consecutive games across club and international fixtures, rumors suggest a potential return to the Premier League could command a fee of around £50 million ($63.6 million). In Milan’s dominant 3-0 win against Lecce, Pulisic most recently made waves online after doing President-elect Donald Trump’s viral “dance” to celebrate a goal scored early in the USA’s 4-2 win over Jamacia in the Concacaf Nations League.
