The report explains: Slot used Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch in the No 6 position during their tour — in which Liverpool won all three of their games. Despite Slot praising Gravenberch’s performance in the friendly against Manchester United, Liverpool have now identified a target in that position.
It is worth keeping an eye on that situation this week, with Liverpool pursuing a specialist No 6 from outside of the Premier League.
They have turned down bids for Endo this summer, in part because of the tricky market in that position, but are now moving ahead with a signing for that role.

An update is also provided on Gordon, with the report claiming signings in three positions are possible this month.
Anthony Gordon remains a player Liverpool have interest in and there were fears the winger’s head had been turned earlier in the summer when a potential deal was discussed.
However, Newcastle are no longer under FFP strain this summer and don’t want to sell one of their key players. They are also set to open talks about a new deal for the 23-year-old to reward him for his form last season and ward off interest.
Liverpool have been considering defensive options since the departure of Joel Matip. Discussions over adding a holding midfielder and an attacking wide player have also taken place.
