It’s not exactly a secret that Liverpool will be strengthening the midfield this summer but it appears that we have also budgeted to add to other areas of our squad, if some of the latest reports are to be believed. Writing for the Ian Doyle said: ‘The club wouldn’t divulge the budget publicly as that would compromise their ability to negotiate in the coming weeks and months. The centre-back question is an interesting one.
However, to hear that a defender is of interest too is an interesting update – particularly when this is that he wanted the club to invest in too.
With Virgil van Dijk being 31-years-old now and some doubts about both the future of Joel Matip and the talents of Joe Gomez, it’s sensible to bolster a position before it becomes an issue. We all remember the Covid season’s defensive crisis too and if there’s ever a way we can avoid that happening again – we’re all more than happy to do whatever necessary.
