Most Liverpool followers will most likely share Slot’s two most important priorities on the subject of incoming summer season switch exercise at Anfield.
Joel Matip’s departure has lessened our centre-back choices, which at occasions will be rendered threadbare by the lower than reliable harm file of Ibrahima Konate.

As for strengthening our defensive midfield choices, even Wataru Endo has referred to as for reinforcements in that place. Coming from the person whose beginning berth could be most in danger if a brand new quantity 6 is bought, that lays naked the necessity for Liverpool to handle their choices in the course of the park.
