British Football Insider unveiled Liverpool's expected starting lineup for the 2025-2026 season on the 19th (Korea time). There were no names for Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, or Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool's goalkeeper next season is Alisson Becker. Alisson is still proving to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world. His overwhelming defensive ability in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) proved his level once again.
With Alexander-Arnold likely to leave for Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, Conor Bradley is being named his successor. Bradley, the right-back, is attracting attention for his vigorous activity and good defense.
Ibrahima Konate is one of the central defenders. Conate, who has excellent skills enough to show interest in Real Madrid and PSG, is considered the core of Liverpool's defense.
If Van Dijk leaves the team, he thought his position could be replaced by Tottenham's Mickey Van Derven. Liverpool is said to be evaluating him as an elite defender. Fast speed and perfect tackle ability can lead to good chemistry with Konate.

The central midfielder consists of the existing Ryan Hravenberg, Alexis McAllister and Dominic Sobosley.
Having suffered under Jurgen Klopp, Hravenberg is looking completely different under Arne Slot. McAllister, who was recruited at a low transfer cost, is a vital contributor to the team, playing the role of a box-to-box midfielder perfectly.
Sobosli, who overcame his initial slump and raised his form, is in charge of creativity and attack in Liverpool midfield.

This season, Díaz is one of the strikers who helped Salah and performed well.
Cody Gak also proved his worth with 16 goals this season. If Salah leaves the team, he is likely to naturally grow into the team's new offensive core.
Alexander Isaac was chosen as the central striker.
Isaac, who is currently one of the most high-profile strikers in Europe, is Liverpool's top target. He contributed greatly to defeating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final. Isaac is expected to play a certain 'front solver' that Darwin Núñez, Díaz and Jota have not shown.
Finally, the media insisted that `It is difficult to imagine Liverpool without Salah, Van Dijk and Arnold, but if the contract extension is not made, this will become a reality.' `With new recruits such as Isaac, Van Derven and Kerkez and the leadership of the slot manager, Liverpool will be able to overcome the transition period faster than expected.'
