After ending the summer dissatisfied with the make-up of their squad, Liverpool supporters already have one eye on their potential transfer business in 2027.The Reds continue to be linked with Lamine Camara of Monaco in a possible mid-season switch, and if Andoni Iraola decides he needs to add to his midfield, it seems that the Senegalese could well be targeted.However, along with a new midfielder, Liverpool badly need to address their issues at right-back. There are a number of candidates who the Reds will likely be assessing as the season progresses, but having been linked with him in the past, fans should be keeping an eye on Sporting’s Ivan Fresneda.
Former Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah is being tipped to possibly reunite with Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid. Liverpool DP Ivan Fresneda could be one to watch for LiverpoolLiverpool were linked with Fresneda as a potential back-up signing to Trent Alexander-Arnold in 2022.
He ended up signing for Sporting in the 2024 January window, before an injury saw him fall a little off the radar. Fresneda has come back strongly, though, and after starting the season in impressive fashion in Lisbon, he was called up to the Spanish national team for the very first time in September.On Friday, as Victor Munoz was impressing for Spain, Fresneda made his debut, playing behind Lamine Yamal in the first-half, and Munoz in the second.It was a decent performance from the 22-year-old, who stood up well defensively while offering an outlet for Yamal, Munoz and the rest of the Spanish players going forward.With Liverpool hunting the right player to provide competition for Bradley and potentially take over long-term duties, Fresneda’s Spain debut should put him right back on the map.His 123 touches were the most of any player on the pitch, and given the difficulties of breaking into the current World Champions’ squad, his ascension shows that, almost four years on from first appearing on Liverpool’s radar, Fresneda is ready to be considered again.The Reds may ultimately decide against adding a right-back in January, but if they do opt for the smart route and bring one in, it could very well be Spain’s newest international.
