Liverpool are now looking to bring in a “major” centre-back signing when the summer transfer window arrives, according to a fresh claim. According to a new report from Football Insider, Liverpool and FSG are planning to add a “major” central defensive signing alongside Jacquet this summer, feeling the need to bring in two players in that role.

The update adds that “the Reds’ recruitment team feel that the squad has an imbalance at the centre of the backline, and they are hopeful of being able to adequately address that issue ahead of next season.” Is centre-back Liverpool’s most important area of focus? While new wingers are vital for Liverpool in the summer, as mentioned, centre-back is a position that hasn’t been focused on nearly enough of late, and that is now a priority area ahead of next season.

Virgil van Dijk turns 35 years of age this summer, and sadly, he won’t be able to go on forever at his peak, and there is no guarantee that Konate will decide to sign a new Liverpool deal. It remains to be seen who the “major” centre-back is that Liverpool will sign, but it has to be someone at the right age who can be both an immediate and long-term success story.
