Liverpool’s transfer business this summer will inevitably be focussed on revamping Jurgen Klopp’s midfield options. That isn’t to say the side wouldn’t benefit from some fresh blood in other areas though.
Chief among them is the centre of their defence. The Reds have a strong record when Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are partnered there but injuries have meant it has not happened as often as they would like. Their absences have only been accentuated by Joe Gomez and Joel Matip having error-prone campaigns.
The good news for Liverpool transfer enthusiasts is that the Reds are reportedly targeting the most valuable centre-back in the world (at least in the opinion of Transfermarkt). Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg tweeted that Liverpool are interested in Josko Gvardiol. As Plettenberg broke the news regarding Roberto Firmino leaving, it’s fair to assume his information is accurate.
