Liverpool and Manchester City are simultaneously interested in a quality midfielder in Europe.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Evan Ndicka left the German club at the end of the season when his contract expired. According to 90min, Liverpool and Manchester City have contacted the defender’s agent and it will be interesting to see which club he continues to play at.
Liverpool are in need of strengthening their defense, especially when players like Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are clearly declining this season. The 23-year-old French defender could be an ideal deal in the context of Ndicka’s arrival on a free transfer.
Ndicka is in the sights of Liverpool and Man City.
To be given more starts by Liverpool than by Manchester City, Ndicka needs to find consistent game time. Quality central defenders like Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, and Aymeric Laporte are already on the Premier League champions’ roster.
The 23-year-free old’s transfer signing might represent a turning point for Liverpool. A mentor like Jürgen Klopp can guide the Frenchman to realize his full potential and help him become a top-notch center-back.
A center-back on the left side is needed for Liverpool. With The Kop’s lineup right now, only Virgil van Dijk is qualified to fill this role. There have been attempts to replace the Dutchman with Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate, but neither has succeeded.
Liverpool do not have anyone to replace Van Dijk
They all play better in the right midfield position. Joel Matip can only kick well when playing next to Van Dijk. However, the former Southampton star will turn 32 when next season begins.
Evan Ndicka is the name that ensures both criteria: delicious and cheap that Liverpool are looking for. The 23-year-old centre-back has refused to sign a new contract with Frankfurt and will be a free agent this summer. According to Transfermarkt’s statistics, Ndicka has the 5th highest value among free agents in the next summer transfer window.
Liverpool can totally get Ndicka for free
In the past, Ndicka played alongside Konate in France’s U21 team. The Frankfurt star was playing on the left of Konate at the time. This is the position of Van Dijk. In this season, the 1999 midfielder made a total of 35 appearances for the German team in all competitions, scoring 1 goal and contributing 1 assist.
Ndicka can completely become Liverpool’s Matip 2.0. These two players do not play in the same position but have quite similar backgrounds.
In February 2016, Matip also had his contract with Schalke expired and joined Liverpool on a free transfer. With The Kop, he has won the English Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Champions League and European Super Cup. Matip is always a reliable partner beside Van Dijk.
