Liverpool eyes central defender amid injury concerns ahead of season

Liverpool is reportedly considering a move for a central defender in the summer transfer window, as injury issues persist in their backline. Fabrizio Romano indicated that the signing of a centre-back is now more likely than that of a right-back. With players like Giovanni Leoni recovering and Joe Gomez recently injured, the need for additional defensive support has become pressing. Romano suggested fans should closely watch developments in the centre-back market as the transfer period continues. Meanwhile, discussions regarding other positions, including right-back, are ongoing, with options available on the market that may offer better value than potential high-cost signings.
