Liverpool just got one step closer to dream signing Liverpool's defence is one of the main areas that needs upgrading this summer. There have been times this term when it's felt like the Reds could actually win a game only for their defensive line to then go and let them down. Virgil van Dijk has even performed below par this season with the Dutchman being a fraction of his former self.

With this in mind, it's hardly surprising to see that most of the players that Liverpool are being linked with are defenders. And now, they've been handed a massive boost in their pursuit for one of their targets. Barcelona have been offered Wesley Fofana which could allow Jules Kounde to leave Much like Liverpool, Barcelona have already been linked with several players to try and improve their ranks.

The La Liga outfit were knocked out of the Champions League in the latter stages by Atletico Madrid which has forced them into looking ahead at the upcoming summer transfer window. But, since Hansi Flick's men are under such harsh financial constraints, they have to move on one or two of their players to try and earn enough money to add to their squad. And now, it seems like they could've moved a step closer to selling one of their many players who Liverpool have been linked with.

That is, if a report from Sky Sports Switzerland is to be believed. "Wesley Fofana's name is circulating in Catalonia. According to our information, the Chelsea FC centre-back was recently offered to FC Barcelona by his representatives," they wrote.
