Exclusive: Liverpool considered three transfer targets for centre-back, experts say

Liverpool are likely to look to sign a new centre-back in 2024, with three players already under scrutiny, according to LFC writer Neil Jones in his exclusive Daily Briefing column.
The Reds have reportedly taken a look at Portuguese duo Antonio Silva and Goncalo Inacio, as well as Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie. However, it is unclear whether the move for any of these players will take place in January or next summer.
Liverpool are currently struggling defensively as Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip appear to be past their prime, so there is certainly room for top young players like Silva, Inacio or Hincapie.
It remains to be seen who the Merseyside giants will prioritize in this position, while Jones also noted that all three of these clubs could be in the title race this season and therefore do not want to lose any key players midway through the season.
“I think it’s clear that centre-back is an area that Liverpool need to consider in 2024,” Jones said. Goncalo Inacio of Sporting LisbonMore stories / Latest news
