LONDON - Arne Slot refused to comment on Liverpool's reported pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong, but he is already working on plans to make the Premier League champions even stronger next season.
The Reds manager could afford the luxury of a trip to Ibiza this week, with the club's record-equalling 20th English top-flight title long since wrapped up.
Liverpool head to Brighton & Hove Albion on May 19 before hosting Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League season.
Their cruise to the title has allowed the Dutchman to make an early start on preparations for next season.
The club are reportedly closing in on a deal for Dutch fullback Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who will leave his boyhood club at the end of the campaign.
