Liverpool surely have to bring in a centre-back this season after their vulnerability in the backline got exposed during the pre-season game.
Despite spending over £250m this summer, Liverpool’s defeat against AC Milan in the pre-season friendly in Hong Kong exposed the defensive problems.
Although after the game, Arne Slot said about the CBs: “We have enough options but it is true that Jarell Quansah left and we haven’t replaced him yet.”
The PL Champions have already sold Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
Although the club have a buy-back option to bring him back, it won’t be available until 2027.

Liverpool currently have 3 major centre-back options in the team.
The 34-year-old and Reds captain Virgil van Dijk is the leader of the team and the backline.

He missed 137 days last season due to injuries.
Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is one of the names the Reds are interested in.
