Liverpool unlikely to sign Dani Carvajal from Real Madrid

Liverpool face speculation regarding a move for Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal as the January transfer window approaches. Despite public discussions involving Joleon Lescott linking the 34-year-old right-back to the club, analysts indicate such a transfer is unlikely due to concerns regarding his injury record and age. Dave Davis noted that Carvajal missed 18 games last season and struggled with significant fitness issues in the prior campaign. Liverpool currently plan to manage their right-back position with existing options including Joe Gomez, Leoni, and Araújo. The club is expected to evaluate long-term recruitment needs rather than pursuing short-term veteran signings. Further options such as Jeremy Frimpong remain part of broader internal considerations for tactical flexibility.
