Liverpool expected to explore centre-back options before transfer deadline
Summary

Liverpool may target a new centre-back in the summer transfer window as the deadline approaches, according to Fabrizio Romano. The team has focused on attacking reinforcements, but injuries have put the defensive line under scrutiny. Conor Bradley is recovering from a serious injury, limiting depth. Liverpool has already signed Jeremy Jacquet, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, and additional defensive support may be necessary. Romano suggests Liverpool will monitor centre-back opportunities closely alongside other potential signings.
