Reports say Liverpool has a “ideal” solution to the problems at centre-backs, but there are also two “alternatives” as backup options.
This summer was a huge success for Liverpool. Liverpool has invested around £260 million to land most of its priorities targets.
Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez are outstanding additions as they head into the 2024/25 campaign with a stronger team than last season.
Still, Liverpool’s summer business is not being done as Alexander Isaac tries to capitalize on his willingness to leave Newcastle by completing an extraordinary move for a world-class striker.
Liverpool has already failed one offer for the Newcastle sense, but once Premier League rivals landed their replacements they were able to return with improved bids.

The Reds already have arguably the best offense in the world, but the arrival of ISAK will ensure this as they will maintain the Premier League in 2025/26 and are looking to win the Champions League.
Still, if there is a weakness on Liverpool’s side, Jarrell Kuansa is at centre-back as he lacks options following his move to Bayer Lebakusen.
Liverpool decides to get cash for Quanza after being sent behind Ibrahima Conate, but his exit means that Frenchman Virgil van Dik and/or Joe Gomez are in trouble if he gets injured early in the new season.
In a report linking Liverpool to Crystal Palace and England star Mark Ngwech, athletic claims have a “ideal” solution and two internal “options” in mind.

The report claims:
“Ideally, slots want a different defender, so he has a strong competition for locations and many younger players are considered.
“The alternative is to either Ryan Gravenberch or Wataru Endo when Virgil Van Dik, Ibrahima Conate, or Joe Gomez is not available.”
It is also attracting attention that Liverpool is “Isaac or Bust,” but one condition allows you to change your mind.
“Even so, we don’t intend to stockpile players if ISAK’s moves don’t progress. Liverpool has new signatures Hugo Ekitique and Florian Wiltz along with Cody Gakupo and Mohamed Sarah who are already in the offensive division, but Jeremy Fripon is the offensive-oriented right-hand player.
“We don’t intend to block Lingmoha’s routes, so Liverpool needs outstanding market opportunities to consider another offensive option.”
