Liverpool pushing hard for centre-back signing after exit confirmed Big changes are coming to the centre of Liverpool’s defence. The Reds may well end up losing Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer - unless a new contract can be worked out very quickly. Fellow senior defender Joe Gomez meanwhile cast doubt on his future earlier this week - revealing that he too may leave Anfield this summer.

Given Virgil van Dijk is out of contract in 2027 fans can be forgiven for being a little worried about the experience levels in the heart of defence. The club have taken steps to safeguard the future of the defence through the signings of Giovanni Leoni, Jeremy Jacquet, Mor Talla Ndiaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe. But there remains the possibility of Richard Hughes landing a senior defender in the upcoming window.

Marcos Senesi exit confirmed And as a result of events on Friday one dream signing moved even closer. Marcos Senesi was a star for Arne Slot’s Feyenoord team - reaching the UEFA Conference League final back in 2022. The Argentina international then moved to Richard Hughes’ Bournemouth - where he has established himself as one of the best-regarded passers in the Premier League.

The club announced that the 28-year-old would be moving on at the end of his contract - with no shortage of interest in the left-footer’s services. While it’s been claimed Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign Senesi their participation in the top flight for next season is far from guaranteed. And a new report in Sports Boom is now claiming that Liverpool will push hard for Senesi’s signature following his refusal to discuss a new Bournemouth contract.
