After confirming the acquisition of Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig on Sunday, Liverpool is not in any way indicating that it would stop shopping for new players.
Since Wednesday, Liverpool has been preoccupied with the 22-year-old international from Hungary. The £60 million release clause was subsequently made public on Friday, he traveled to Merseyside on Saturday to complete the necessary paperwork, and everything was finalized with media announcements made in the middle of the afternoon on Sunday.
The midfielder is the second player of his position to be signed this window after Alexis MacAllister arrived at Anfield, and many talented people are rumored to be following suit. Jamie Carragher, a former vice captain who is now a Sky commentator, has already advised manager Jurgen Klopp on what needs to be done to finish his team’s restoration.
The 45-year-old added, “I think Liverpool will end up getting another two midfield players and I think they’ll need another defender as well,” in an interview with the broadcaster toward the end of the last campaign.
“It’s unclear if that will be a center back or a full back. It’s a hot topic to discuss whether Liverpool will stick with the system they used to end the season, but I believe they’ll add three more players.
Therefore, based on Carragher’s ideas, his old team should target a defender next.
The Merseyside club is rumored to have a number of options in mind, mostly in the central defensive category. Levi Colwill of Chelsea, Micky van de Ven of Wolfsburg, and Goncalo Inacio of Sporting are all players the club is interested in.
In terms of current defensive transfers, Klopp has approved Calvin Ramsay and Rhys Williams’ one-year loans.
However, Liverpool might try to recruit another midfielder to their ranks in addition to what Carragher said, so that a defender coming through the door next may not be the case.
Romeo Lavia of Southampton has received greater attention, with both the club and the player allegedly in direct touch with Anfield executives. Meanwhile, negotiations for Khephren Thuram of OGC Nice are claimed to have advanced over the weekend.
