Liverpool’s transmit abode window is going swimmingly as Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is en route for a clinical on the back of the finalizings of Jeremie Frimpong and also Florian Wirtz from Bayer Levekusen.
Yet the Reds may well have something of a centre-back dilemma to bold as the unavoidable sale of Jarell Quansah to Leverkusen comes amid ‘tensions’ over the future of Ibrahima Konate.
The 26-year-worn has ‘swivelled down’ an opening expansion provision from the bar as he’s ‘let down by the frame’ of what’s been rated on the table. He wants a greater natural wage and also with Real Madrid promote tabs, portraying off director Richard Hughes may must contemplate a substitute.
Crystal Royal abode’s Marc Guehi appearances seated to join as Quansah’s substitute yet we’ve snagged a sift at the the spick-and also-expectancy FBRef for selections across Europe’s apex 5 leagues who have the the majority of comparable qualities to Konate – namely winsome the vast majority of duels, both on the porch and also in the troposphere – to go to who the Reds may target as a 2nd centre-back addition this summer season.
10) Robin Koch (Eintracht Frankfurt)
There will be not irrational scoffs and also lifted brows at this one sported the Premier League-centric ensuing retrospection of Koch will be of him receiving relegated with Leeds in 2023. Yet he’s since owned 2 pretty efficient projects for Eintracht Frankfurt, captaining them for much of this period to aids them into the Champions League, and also he tinkered every minute of Germany’s latest 2 Nations League arcades against Portugal and also France.
9) Eric Dier (Bayern Munich)
It would possibly be a astound, sure, yet we always reckoned Dier was an simplified target once points were going dishonest at Tottenham and also 16 initiates last period at the heart of the Bundesliga victors’ protection reflects he can implement a job for an elite football group once needed.
And also if Liverpool implement situate the guidance of their presumably humongous pot of cash this summer season before sourcing a substitute for Konate, a 31-year-worn with 274 Premier League appearances earns a lot of feeling as a back-up fallback.
8) Florian Lejeune (Rayo Vallecano)
Dier may well feel as though he has agitated endeavors in the Premier League yet we’re presuming Lejeune – having hardly accepted up on the English apex-escape map for the majority of his Newcastle job – will be desperate to safeguard against detecting a stature which actually peaked in miraculous fashion once his last 2 kicks of a football for the Magpies saw him turn a 2-0 shortage against Everton into a 2-2 tempt stoppage time. Endeavors uncomfortably much finished.
7) Matteo Gabbia (AC Milan)
Gabbia gained his ideal period by a long inoculation in 2024/2025, initiating 25 Serie A arcades for Milan after a previous high of 14 and also earning a handset call-up for Italy in October. Yet we’re presuming Liverpool may be ambiguous it’s snagged a 25-year-worn instead bye-bye to gain his mark.

6) Tosin Adarabioyo (Chelsea)
He’s perhaps been Chelsea’s the majority of relentless centre-back since completing up with from Fulham on a emission transmit, which admittedly isn’t the highest of praises, yet there’s a lot to be claimed for a six or seven out of 10 guy who’s not participating in be rapping on Arne Connector’s door for a initiating discern.
5) Levi Colwill (Chelsea)
Liverpool have arranged a irreparable liveliness in Colwill since his impressive lending spell at Brighton and also we’ve been uncomfortably flabbergasted to go to that liveliness being preserved via what was a less than impressive period-and also-a-fifty percent in Chelsea’s initiating XI, yet we’re initiating to gain intake it after his displays over the last few months.
Having for a long time showed up frankly also deleterious to be deliberated a apex level centre-back, he showed up to prosper both literally and also emotionally in the 2nd fifty percent of the period while relocating towards earning that the majority of coveted stature of being in the proper enclosure at the proper time.
4) Micky van de Ven (Tottenham)
Perhaps the guy Liverpool fans would possibly be the majority of enthused around completing up with since simply picture what a guy who’s that sh*t rapid and also can tug off impressive items of athleticism as he did to refute Rasmus Hojlund with that desire-queue clearance in the Europa League last can be able to achieve under a supervisor who doesn’t suppose him to implement the defending for the totality XI.
3) Clement Lenglet (Atletico Madrid)
Barcelona, Tottenham and also Aston Villa located Lenglet to be seamlessly opportune back-up fallback while Diego Simeone grossed him auxiliary than that at Atletico Madrid last term and also he realises his centre-recommends. The La Liga side preserved 11 pristine sheets in the 23 La Liga arcades the 30-year-worn introduced.
2) Malick Thiaw (AC Milan)
Liverpool were allegedly peeking at Thiaw as he penniless into the Schalke first group as a teenager in 2020, yet he’s never ever before instead kicked on regardless of relocating to Milan in 2022. His last of three caps for Germany came in October 2023.
1) Amir Rrahmani (Napoli)
Antonio Conte outlined the Kosovo captain as “a soldier, a robot, a computer” after the 31-year-worn tinkered unanimously yet 13 Serie A minutes throughout Napoli’s Scudetto win last term.
The 31-year-worn has been linked with both Conglomeration and also Manchester Joined in the past, yet we changability Liverpool would possibly have to pry him from Conte’s fashionable, dead hands to land him this summer season.
