Liverpool's defensive crisis continues after they lost three back to back games, even after registering seven back to back victories. They are presently struggling in each and every position, but one of the biggest issues remains their defense, where they seriously lack depth, as options are very limited.
They signed an 18 year old defender from Parma Football Club named Giovanni Leoni for a reported fee of £26 million, and he had been quite impressive in his debut for the side. But unfortunately, he suffered a massive injury in that same game, and it will keep him out of action for an indefinite period, making the defensive options for Liverpool even minimal.
Liverpool are rumored to be after Dayot Upamecano
They were really close to signing Marc Guehi on the transfer deadline day this Summer, but the deal collapsed at the dying moments as Crystal Palace pulled it off because they would not find a replacement. It looks like Liverpool definitely needed the signing of the English International, but presently, it looks like it is never going to happen.
Dayot Upamecano is presently active at Bayern Munich
Other big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are also after the English International who will become a free agent by next season. Liverpool wanted to sign him for free next season, but it looks like it is not going to be a very easy task for them to get him for free. They may even miss him completely.
Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano are International teammates
Liverpool are in a very difficult situation right now with their lack of strength in defense. They are desperate to at least one major defender, with one of their key defenders, Ibrahima Konate, having also decided to leave next season on a free transfer to Real Madrid. Liverpool is trying their best to keep him, but it does not look like he wants to stay.
Konate's international center back partner Dayot Upamecano, who is presently active in Bayern Munich, is also going free agent next season, and recent reports suggest that Liverpool are willing to move forward for Dayot Upamecano if they miss out on Marc Guehi. It can definitely be a great addition for Liverpool if they actually manage to secure the signature of the French International.
