Liverpool completed a major rebuild in the summer, but most of it focused on midfield. Protection follows.
The problems came back into focus after Joel Matip’s serious injury. Jurgen Klopp knows he has to sign the right players, not just any player.
He has ruled out a move in January, but strengthening the defense is clearly on Liverpool’s agenda. Klopp will not lose faith in Jarell Quanza overnight, but the teenager missed a penalty as Liverpool cruised past Crystal Palace. To be fair, Virgil van Dijk was equally uncomfortable in the penalty area and was sent off after an incident in the build-up. But the fact that Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate were written off before their time suggests they were right.
The rest of the depth is somewhat illusory. But maybe not because we don’t want to try. The former Liverpool target is now back in the gossip columns. This time, Red offered to double his wages.
Moreover, Barcelona is one of the clubs that are looking for the young South American player known as Mini Messi. Liverpool.com brings you the biggest news in European football ahead of this week’s Europa League group stage final.
Uruguayan centre-back Ronald Araujo has become a key player for Barcelona. However, things could have been different if Liverpool had managed to extend his last contract.Penning has extended his contract until April 2022, while Araujo will remain at Barcelona. He told the delegates not to listen to the proposals of other political parties. However, both Liverpool and Chelsea “offered him money” to secure his signature.
However, the agreement signed at the time is only valid until 2026, and now that future is back on the agenda. Florian Plettenberg says Bayern Munich are pushing hard, although it is unclear whether Araujo is interested. Thomas Tuchel called. And according to Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United have offered to double his salary.
