Liverpool prepares for defensive changes following Robertson and Konate exits

Liverpool FC plans to address defensive recruitment in the summer transfer window after the departures of Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate. Both players are leaving Anfield at the end of their contracts this month. Liverpool has signed Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes and will welcome back Kostas Tsimikas from a loan spell at AS Roma. The club aims to reinforce the right-back position due to concerns over the fitness of Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong, while Tsimikas is expected to cover for Milos Kerkez at left-back. Liverpool does not plan to sign a new centre-back, despite having four available for the upcoming season, as they prioritize other areas of the squad.
