BREAKING NEWS: Reports coming from Fabrizio Romano states that Liverpool has made it a must to sign another center-back defender after yesterday’s game they kept losing possession. Liverpool lead the race to sign Sao Paulo star defender with reports now suggesting Jurgen Klopp has switched his focus to signing a centre-back.
Currently leading the race to sign Sao Paulo defender Lucas Beraldo, Jurgen Klopp may be shifting his attention to acquiring a center-back, according to reports.
Goncalo Inacio is another defender that the Reds have been strongly linked to signing, with reports indicating that both the Reds and Newcastle United are preparing to activate his release clause.
Jorge Nicolas recently revealed that Sao Paulo is willing to settle for less than £20 million, which raised hopes of signing Beraldo.
According to Brazilian publication UOL, Liverpool is currently “the favourite club to take him from São Paulo.”
Although Beraldo turned 20 this week, he can still do better. Nevertheless, Liverpool “knows this very well,” according to UOL, indicating that the defender has a lot of potential.
Jurgen Klopp believes that adding a new defensive midfielder is more important than signing a center-back.
Even though Andre might not sign with the Reds in the January transfer window, it would be a questionable move on the part of Anfield’s recruitment managers if they failed to bring in a replacement for Fabinho in two straight windows.
Without a natural number six, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s incredible strike against Manchester City saved a point, but Liverpool found it difficult to maintain possession and dominate the midfield contest.
Although Alexis Mac Allister did a fantastic job of clinging to the ball and his 94% pass accuracy allowed the opposition to score, his ability to win the ball is just insufficient.
If Liverpool doesn’t sign a no. 6 in the summer, it might end up being expensive.
