‘On Liverpool’s list’: Reds maintain interest in signing ‘world-class’ Bundesliga defender

According to The Daily Briefing, while Liverpool remain confident of signing Guehi, they have widened their search for a new centre-back net incase they fail to land him.

Among those the club is looking at is Bayern Munich’s French defender Dayot Upamecano.

Upamecano is another top centre-back available on a free transfer next summer and Liverpool are among clubs keeping a close eye on the player.

As per the report, the defender, dubbed as ‘world-class‘, is on the list and is someone their recruiting team has looked at before.

The Daily Briefing reports its source saying: “Upamecano is on Liverpool’s list. As a free agent next summer, he’d definitely appeal to them, their recruitment team have looked at him before.”

Sven Botman and Murrilo also being eyed by Liverpool

Nottingham Forest defender Murillo and Newcastle’s Dutch ace Sven Botman are two other names on Liverpool’s radar ahead of the transfer windows.

As per the report, Murillo is a player that who is ‘well liked at Liverpool’. The player has other suitors as well, with Chelsea said to be keen on the player too.

Forest are aware of the growing interest in their player and given their poor form this season, the player could look to leave.

Newcastle’s Sven Botman is another name on Liverpool’s radar since the summer transfer window.

As per the report, while Liverpool did not pursue the move back then, the 25-year-old remains on Arne Slot’s list.

However, any negotiations for Botman will be far from straightforward after the strained relationship between the two clubs this summer.
