Liverpool’s midfielder/centre-back search

I think you’ve got to look at who’s available, first and foremost. Liverpool have had some problems with available players, for example, Ryan Gravenberch, who is one Liverpool really like, but wasn’t available and hasn’t been available. If that changes, I do think Liverpool would be right in the mix for someone like him. Khephren Thuram was looked at strongly, but it was relayed back that once Dominik Szoboszlai signed, it put an end to this pursuit. In the meantime, however, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left, so we’ll have to see whether that option gets revisited. He should be available; he’s not gone anywhere despite rumours of other clubs being interested. You’ve also got people like Manu Kone, but the probably more interesting thing is what Liverpool do with the defence.
