Brilliant news for Liverpool as Fabrizio Romano confirms transfer is now 'LIKELY' | OneFootball

Fabrizio Romano confirms a player is 'likely' on the move in the next few weeks. It's absolutely brilliant news for Liverpool.

Liverpool are in need of reinforcements and Sunday proved that. The Reds started the match brilliantly but ended up looking incredibly short both at the back and up top.

Once Hugo Ekitiké went off, for instance, Liverpool had no natural replacement for him. Arne Slot instead opted for two attacking midfielders with a box midfield - essentially playing without a centre-forward.

That's why Liverpool are so eager to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. He's an immediate fix for the squad and a truly elite one.

But that's not the only area with concerns. Liverpool are also incredibly short at centre-back after Jarell Quansah left for Bayer Leverkusen.

The Reds have not replaced him and Joe Gomez's latest injury means Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the sole senior centre-backs. A situation very reminiscent of 2020 and that was an absolute disaster.

It appears, though, that Liverpool may have a way to fix it.
