Before the Premier League transfer deadline, Bayern Munich might have unintentionally assisted Liverpool in acquiring Southampton defender Armel Bella-Kotchap.
Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo are the midfield trio that Jurgen Klopp has already signed this summer, but the Reds’ back line is still an issue.
This transfer window, Liverpool lost Fabinho and James Milner, both of whom Klopp may have used in defense. While on Thursday, center Nat Phillips finished his loan to Celtic.
Not to mention Virgil van Dijk, who may receive a longer punishment for his conduct toward referee John Brooks during Liverpool’s match against Newcastle last Saturday after receiving a red card for a challenge on Alexander Isak.
Due to the predicament, Liverpool’s defensive options are limited, and the team’s supporters are clamoring for a new center-back. And it appears that Bella-Kotchap’s potential new team, Bayern Munich, gave them a big boost in the race to recruit her.
This is due to the fact that Thomas Tuchel was unable to sign the 21-year-old before the Bundesliga’s Friday at 17:00 GMT transfer deadline.
Therefore, as Klopp attempts to strengthen his team in the remaining few hours of the window, Liverpool might have a clear shot at acquiring the German international.
He did, however, issue a stern warning, urging the Merseyside club to’move fast’ in the transfer market, pointing to Endo’s unexpected departure from VfB Stuttgart earlier this summer.
The Italian said on Kick’s live blog, “Let’s see [about Bella-Kotchap going to Liverpool].
I don’t currently have any updates on specific negotiations, but Liverpool moves quickly when making deals, as seen with Endo.
The Anfield club has signed players like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo so far this summer to bolster their midfield.
Before Friday’s 11:01 p.m. transfer deadline, many predicted Liverpool would add another midfielder to their roster.
Many Liverpool supporters were concerned that the Gravenberch transfer might be impacted by the Palhinha agreement.
Now that a big update has been shared on social media, transfer specialist Romano has allayed any concerns.
