A Sky Sports claim almost certainly confirms that Liverpool will make further defensive signings this summer. Sky Sports claim defies recent reports over Liverpool defensive transfer plans Reporting live on Sky Sports News, journalist Mark McAdam has made a bold claim, suggesting that Liverpool will not sign another defender this summer despite their glaring issues at the back.
When asked if Liverpool have to think about reinforcements at the back in the market, McAdam said: “No is the answer we are being told. (@BradleyLFC26) August 3, 2026 Recent Sky Sports track record with Liverpool transfers would suggest a defensive signing will happen Sky Sports don’t exactly have the most glittering track record with recent Anfield acquisitions, so if I were to hazard a guess, I would say that they don’t have the inside track on Liverpool transfers anymore.
For example, Mark McAdam recently claimed on Sky Sports’ The Transfer Show: “There has still been no club-to-club contact between PSG and Liverpool at this stage over Bradley Barcola. It’s going to get rejected, isn’t it?” Current Liverpool defensive options As things stand, Liverpool’s depth in defence is barely worthy of a top six finish, much less any realistic chance of winning silverware… Centre-back options: Virgil van Dijk Joe Gomez (injured) Jeremy Jacquet (20 y/o, hasn’t played a game since shoulder surgery after injury on 7 February 2026) Giovanni Leoni (19 y/o, hasn’t played since ACL reconstruction surgery after injury on 23 September 2026) Left-back options: Milos Kerkez Kostas Tsimikas Right-back options: Jeremie Frimpong Conor Bradley (out injured since January 2026, return date unknown) Calvin Ramsay (hasn’t played since 29 October 2025) Verdict: Liverpool would be risking an entire season if they didn’t sign a right-back AND another centre-back Given that Liverpool don’t even consider Jeremie Frimpong as a defender, the idea of them not signing another right-back this summer is even more concerning.
