TA: Meeting the Premier League rules without weakening competitiveness is the core rule of Liverpool s summer window

TA analyzed the relationship between Liverpool's signings and local players' rules. Slot must retain core non-local players next season while ensuring the quality of local players. How to meet the Premier League rules without weakening the competitiveness of the lineup will be the core issue of Liverpool's summer window operation.

Since 2008, Premier League clubs must register at least a certain number of locally trained players on the official list: that is, players who have been trained for three years in the youth training system of this team or other English clubs. After the seasonal transfer window is closed, 20 Premier League teams need to submit a registration list of up to 25 people, of which at least 8 people need to meet the local player terms: that is, up to 17 non-local players.

The Reds are facing variables in this regard next season. As the club continues to advance the signing plan between Werz and Kolkz, it depends on coach Slot's trust in the core squad and whether he is willing to use youth players to fill the quota. The Reds' 22-player registration list last season included 7 local players, including 3 of which Arnold, Kelleh and young player Hill have now left the team. Goalkeeper Yaros is expected to be loaned out, and the future of Joe Gomez and Taylor Morton is also unclear. Currently, Jones is the only local player on Liverpool's roster to be confirmed to stay in the team last season.

Thanks to his youthful experience at Manchester City, Flynn Poon met the criteria for identifying local players in the Premier League, which also prompted Liverpool executives to regard many local players as an ideal signing target after they left the team. Flynnon will be included in the local quota, and Bradley, who is 22 years old in July, will also withdraw from the U21 echelon due to overage in age and fill a local quota. The same situation is also the 22-year-old Kanssa and Elliott. Although they have few opportunities under Slott last season, they have attracted the attention of other teams. Elliot recently admitted that he was worried about wasting his years, while Leverkusen was interested in Kansar.

If you need to collect enough places, Slot can directly promote youth training young players without registering, such as Nioni, McConnell, Dance or Kumas, but some players may be rented for training. The more difficult question is how to balance the number of non-local players after new players join. Liverpool registered 15 non-local players last season, but some players must be cleaned up this summer. Assuming Kolkz and Werz join, Liverpool's first-team non-local players will reach 18, exceeding the 17-man cap set by the Premier League.

Even if Slot prefers to streamline the lineup, he still needs to balance the quota by selling players. Zimikas, Nunes and Chiesa Jr. may become "sacrifices", especially when attackers such as Jota and Garkepo stay in the team.
