Liverpool are busy in the transfer market as they look to build on their recent Premier League success.

The club is clearly focused on strengthening key areas, but not every position is seen as urgent.

While the excitement often centers around big-money signings and headline arrivals, there are quieter parts of the squad that still need attention.

In this kind of competitive environment, clubs have to prioritize.

Some areas demand immediate reinforcements because they impact the team’s performance straight away.

Others are more about planning for the future—making sure the squad stays balanced and ready for the long haul.

It’s a delicate balance between addressing urgent needs and investing in the next generation of talent.

Liverpool have been very active already, locking in some major targets and chasing top players.

But not every position on the pitch is under immediate threat or pressure.

That’s where a few “less-pressing” needs come into play.

These are areas the club is monitoring closely but not rushing to fix overnight.

According to Sky Sports News editor Lyall Thomas, Liverpool’s “less-pressing” transfer targets include a new young centre-back and a defensive midfielder.

These positions are in the club’s plans but aren’t considered urgent compared to others.

This makes sense given Liverpool’s current defensive stability and midfield options.

Liverpool have already made big moves this summer.

They confirmed Jeremie Frimpong’s signing from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5m.

Their focus is also on exciting talents like Florian Wirtz, with a massive £105m offer made recently.

“Another priority is signing a left-back to share the load with and eventually succeed Andy Robertson.”

“They want Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.”

“Of less-pressing need but also in their plans are a new young centre-back and a defensive midfielder.”

“Other signings will depend on outgoings, with some interest in Luis Diaz and Bayern Munich keen on Cody Gakpo.”

“Harvey Elliott has had interest since January from Brighton and clubs in Germany.”

In short, Liverpool’s strategy balances immediate reinforcements with future planning.

The young centre-back and defensive midfielder targets are important but not urgent—Liverpool are building not just for today, but for sustained success.
