Richard Hughes plans to snatch centre-back from Tottenham Liverpool are preparing for big changes at centre-back this summer. The Anfield club have already spent big on Jeremy Jacquet while Mor Talla Ndiaye is now among Arne Slot’s first-team options. And with Giovanni Leoni set to return from a long-term injury the Premier League champions’ backline will have a fresh look next term.
But adding all these young defenders risks exposing a lack of experience in the ranks. Liverpool have got three senior options currently in the squad and as things stand all three will leave in the next year or so. Ibrahima Konate could be first out.
His contract expires in the summer and no new deal has been announced. Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez - meanwhile - are out of contract in 2027. It would be a surprise to see Van Dijk offered a new deal on £400k per week given he will be 36 by the time his current contract ends.
And Gomez could even be sacrificed this summer with only one year left on his deal as Richard Hughes attempts to claw back some much-needed transfer income. That means an experienced centre-back option would be an ideal signing for Liverpool this summer. Liverpool have entered Marcos Senesi race One player tipped to arrive by a new report in talkSPORT is Marcos Senesi.
