Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readLiverpool won't rest. They are continuing to chase the best young talents around.
From the source
Liverpool have taken great steps to ensure continuity at centre-back in the years ahead. Ibrahima Konate was lost on a free transfer with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez likely to depart in summer 2027.
As a result of Konate’s move to Real Madrid - and those other impending departures - Reds recruiters have certainly been busy.Giovanni Leoni was added from Parma in summer 2025 for £26m and Jeremy Jacquet was a £60m signing from Rennes earlier this year.
Others - such as Mor Talla Ndiaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe - also look like encouraging signings for the future.But sporting director Julian Ward and head coach Andoni Iraola won’t stop there.
