🔴 Liverpool Enter Direct Talks for Defensive Reinforcement Ahead of Deadline

Liverpool have reportedly begun club-to-club negotiations to bring in a defensive reinforcement as they scramble to address recent injury woes at the back, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
The target under discussion is a defender familiar to manager Arne Slot — a player the boss has worked with before and values for his flexibility across the back line. This potential move is seen as Liverpool’s attempt to boost defensive depth quickly before the transfer window slams shut.
The Reds’ defensive unit has been stretched thin due to injuries to key full-backs, prompting the club to look at options who can come in and contribute right away. The ongoing talks suggest that Liverpool are hoping to complete a late addition to shore up their options in time for crucial upcoming fixtures.
Negotiations are still in progress, and while nothing has been finalized, the fact that direct discussions between clubs are underway highlights Liverpool’s urgency to reinforce their defensive ranks.
