Fabrizio Romano has offered his insights, suggesting Liverpool could be in line for ‘at least’ two signings during the upcoming transfer window.
While acknowledging that plans might shift depending on the new manager succeeding Jurgen Klopp, Romano highlighted potential areas of reinforcement for the Merseyside club.
Speaking on The Debrief podcast with CaughtOffside, the renowned reporter emphasized the likelihood of Liverpool bolstering their defensive ranks, particularly in the center-back position.
“In January, they had opportunities but opted to wait for the summer window to address the center-back situation, possibly considering Joel Matip’s impending departure,” Romano stated.
Furthermore, Romano hinted at potential activity in the attacking department, hinting at the addition of either a winger or a striker, contingent upon the strategic vision of the incoming manager.
While the prospect of signings looms, the narrative could be influenced by Mo Salah’s future, especially amid ongoing interest from Saudi suitors in the 31-year-old forward.
Regarding Liverpool’s center-back needs, while options are available for the right-sided role with Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and Jarell Quansah, concerns linger over Virgil van Dijk’s recovery and form. This explains previous links to players like Sporting’s Goncalo Inacio. Ideally, any prospective addition would need to possess qualities akin to Van Dijk, notably exceptional aerial ability and positional awareness.
