In terms of solidifying things at the other end, No 6 makes sense given they need another option to Ryan Gravenbech and that’s an area where we expect Liverpool will at least look to address.

In the back line, Ibrahima Konate has not signed a new contract. An extension was said to be was close a few weeks ago but nothing has emerged since then.

Remember that Jeremy Jacquet will become a Liverpool player this summer from Rennes – just before he turns 21 – in a £60m deal. He is the second-most expensive defender to join Liverpool. 

But Jacquet himself has missed the back end of the season with a shoulder injury.  Liverpool also have Geovanni Leoni to come back from his ACL injury.

Virgil van Dijk is still at Liverpool,  as is Joe Gomez – .who has just a year left on his contract.

So there could be movement in that centre-back role

And cover at left back may be needed with Andy Robertson saying his goodbyes – although they also have Kostas Tsimikas returning from his loan spell.
