Liverpool have already been active in reinforcing their defence this summer but there ought to be another addition to come.
The Reds have signed three goalkeepers and two full-backs but are now in the market for a new centre back following the recent departure of Jarell Quansah. The youngster joined Bayer Leverkusen for £35 million ($46.9 million) and has left Liverpool with just three natural central defenders in the senior squad.
Virgil van Dijk penned a new deal in April but the future of Ibrahima Konaté remains uncertain given his worrying contract situation, while Joe Gomez’s recent injury record leaves a lot to be desired. The Reds would be taking an enormous risk by not bolstering the heart of their backline over the coming weeks.
Fortunately for Arne Slot and Liverpool’s recruitment team, there are some mightily impressive centre backs kicking about at the moment, several of which lined up against the Reds in the Premier League last season. In a perfect world, one of them could be their new star defensive signing.
