Liverpool want to bring in a new defender, and one star has given the green light to a move to the Premier League.
The Reds have the best defense in the league in terms of numbers this season. Arne Slot’s team has conceded just 11 goals all season, while Virgil van Dijk and his central defender Ibrahima Konate are 8th in the rankings FourFourTwo list of the best central defenders in the world – both impressive.
However, following Konate’s recent injury, the Frenchman’s importance has increased and Jarell Quansah may not be at the same level, so the Merseyside players may enter the transfer market.
Liverpool wants to bring in a star who has agreed to move to England
Manager Arne Slot has good options in Liverpool’s defense, with stalwart captain Van Dijk and Konate at the back being his favorite partners. Joe Gomez played various roles and Quansah also replaced him.
However, given that Gomez has struggled with injury issues over the years, Van Dijk’s future is still undecided and Joel Matip not being replaced after the summer, Liverpool could perhaps use another centre-back to replace Konate.
Belgian outlet Latest news have noticed the Reds’ interest in Joel Ordonez, and the Ecuadorian is in their sights Chelseatoo.
Referring to the interest, the 20-year-old said: “I’d like that” and his manager admitted that clubs are circling him – potentially in January.
“At the end of the day, that’s what you want as a player.” Club Bruges said boss Nicky Hayen. “What makes me happy is that Joel always does his job despite the attention.
“You have no control over when this transfer will take place. This could happen in the winter, but it could also happen after this season, which we would prefer.
IN FourFourTwo According to Ordonez, he is ready to take a step forward and playing as a defender for Liverpool’s senior centre-backs is perhaps the ideal move. As Slot stated, it was “difficult to assess how many” weeks Konate would be sidelined at the beginning of November, ideally having additional options to choose from from January.
Ordonez is estimated to be worth €9 million Transfer market. Liverpool takes over Girona this week when Champions League action returns.
