If there are reports in the media, the European Champions are linked with a top central defender in the form of Kalidou Koulibaly.
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Liverpool has already been contacted to sign the Senegalese international Napoli, who is prepared to sell his star defender in the summer due to financial concerns.
News – From Italy – Liverpool could be unbeatable – In pole position to sign £ 52 million stars
The renowned Italian news outlet has claimed that the Reds wanted to attract the African star to form an explosive association in central defense with the record signing of club Virgil van Dijk, who is the current UEFA Player of the Year.
TMW further claims that Klopp could sell Matip, who has been our third-choice center this season. It is mentioned that the clubs will soon speak again about the transfer of the 28-year-old from Serie A, which was valued at around € 100 million before the COVID-19 outbreak. However, now its value will be less.
Last month, La Repubblica revealed that a fee of € 85m (£ 74m) should be enough to secure his signature this summer.
Koulibaly is not the only central defender on the Anfield club radar. Famous Spanish news source Sport revealed (on April 8) that the Merseysiders are pushing to lure Sevilla star Diego Carlos to associate him with Van Dijk in the bottom line.
At Anfield, we already have a rock solid defensive setup. Under Klopp, the team had the best defensive record in the league last season and even this period, we conceded the fewest goals in PL before the season suspension.
With Van Dijk, Gomez, Matip and Lovren close, we really don’t need to spend a lot to sign a central defender unless one of the names mentioned is downloaded in the summer transfer window.
Koulibaly has won the Senegalese Player of the Year award twice and he is the only defender who has managed to get into the Serie A Team of the Season in the last four campaigns. Unfortunately, the 33-capped international has lost many games due to injury concerns this season.
In your opinion, should Liverpool spend £ 74 million to sign former man Genk, who turns 29 next month?
