Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's new head coach, is set to build his team around a £241 million forward duo, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz. The club has already spent around £100 million this summer, adding to the £450 million invested last year. Liverpool still needs to bolster their attacking lineup, with a right winger being a priority, particularly to replace Mohamed Salah.
However, Paris Saint-Germain's valuation of their duo is proving a significant barrier. Iraola, according to Liverpool Echo, is determined to make the best of the players available and is focused on getting the best out of Isak and Wirtz. Alexander Isak, Liverpool's record signing from Newcastle in a £125 million deal last summer, scored only four goals and faced various health issues, including a broken leg.
Florian Wirtz, acquired for a fee that could reach £116 million from Bayer Leverkusen, had a disappointing debut season at Anfield. Iraola's main task will be to transform these two expensive players into a lethal attacking force.
