Liverpool targets Daniel Banjaqui amid right-back concerns

Summary

Liverpool is exploring options for a right-back ahead of the transfer window, as Ronald Araujo's future remains uncertain. The club has been informed that Benfica is asking for €50 million for Daniel Banjaqui, one of its top targets.

With Araujo's permanent signing still in question, Liverpool's need for a new right-back could intensify as the January transfer window approaches.
