Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readLiverpool have spent big in recent windows but there is an opportunity to do a bargain deal
From the source
Liverpool need to strengthen at both right-back and in midfield. Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong have not managed to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold adequately. Dominik Szoboszlai and other midfielders have filled in while on-loan Ronald Araujo is currently in possession of the shirt.Whether the Uruguay international stays at the club long term remains to be seen.
And in midfield Andoni Iraola has been left short after summer business.Stefan Bajcetic and Curtis Jones left on permanent deals while Harvey Elliott was permitted to join Valencia on loan.
The 2024/25 Premier League champions could do with another senior option in the middle - particularly with Ryan Gravenberch out of form. Liverpool want Marcos LlorenteOne solution could be to add a player who can feature in both positions.
