Liverpool set to address centre-back issue but Newcastle could derail bid for €80m ace

Although Liverpool are still in the hunt for Europa League and Premier League glory at the time of writing, it appears that the club aren’t necessarily happy with their centre-back options.

The Reds have struggled at times to partner Virgil van Dijk effectively, and it could even be said that the Dutchman has gone off the boil at various points in the 2023/24 campaign.

With Jurgen Klopp leaving the club in just a few games time, the issue is one for the new incumbent on the Anfield bench to deal with.
