Liverpool rivals round-up: Manchester United has been dealt a big transfer blow with its top summer target, while winger Jadon Sancho could make a $63m switch.
While Liverpool is looking to improve and get back on track next season, so too are the rest of the teams that it will have to compete with in the Premier League — not least treble winners Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side are now European champions and Liverpool cannot even win that trophy back next season, having missed out on qualifying for the tournament by finishing outside of the Premier League’s top four.
Regardless, everyone will be looking to get better next season. Liverpool needs to get back into the Champions League at the very least, while Manchester United and Newcastle finished ahead but still have a lot of improvements to make.
Manchester United is central to today’s look at Liverpool’s rivals, with its hopes of one mega signing that could be transformational seemingly dwindling and one of its current stars being linked with a big-money exit.
Here, Liverpool.com takes a scan around the other big sides in the Premier League and around Europe to take a look at the developments going on at the other clubs, starting with some news about Harry Kane.
