TA: Liverpool s lack of depth has caused concerns, Guy is an opportunity but the price must be appropriate

July 28th, TheAthletic Liverpool reporter James Pearce posted a message saying that the team is currently inadequate in the position of the central defender, which has caused concern for fans.

After Kanssa transferred to Leverkusen for 35 million pounds, Joe Gomez ended his Asian tour early due to an Achilles tendon injury, there are currently only two healthy senior central defenders in the Reds, Van Dijk and Connat. Therefore, for Liverpool, the next priority in the transfer window this summer should be to sign a new central defender.

Although Newcastle still refuses to let go of its position on Isaac, if the opponent gives in, Liverpool may still break the UK transfer fee record and sign the player. However, the Reds have spent 300 million pounds on signings this summer, and although they have been looking for a young central defender with potential, there is no suitable candidate yet.

Two years ago, Liverpool was interested in Chelsea central defender Colville, but the player eventually chose to renew his contract with the Blues. Last summer, Liverpool considered introducing Yoro, but the player eventually joined Manchester United because the opponent asked to ensure playing time. This summer, Liverpool is interested in Wyson, but the player chose Real Madrid.

25-year-old Crystal Palace central defender Captain Guy has only one year left in his contract, and he is still an England international. He is an opportunity in the market. Liverpool has discussed him, but the price must be appropriate, and players must accept the challenge of competing for starts. Even if Joe Gomez's injury time is short, Liverpool should be cautious.

Konat's contract has only one year left, and renewal negotiations are still in progress. When facing a weaker team, midfielders Heraffenberg and Endo Kazuma may be able to top the central defender, but the plan to introduce a new central defender should be pushed to the forefront of the agenda.
