Liverpool is now at a transitional stage and while Klopp ended up building a very good squad for Arne Slot the addition of more players will be needed before the start of the next season.
Since the core position of a centre-back can help to strengthen the team in that aspect it is considered valuable to get one during the transfer window.
However, there is also a branch of reasoning that supports the consolidation of other positions. Bobby Clark and Kaide Gordon are young players who would love to play more senior minutes for their teams.
It remains incumbent upon new sporting director Richard Hughes to correctly identify objectives on the transfer market.
Not surprisingly, Florian Wirtz appeared on the list of our most frequently mentioned players more often than once.
While Philippe Coutinho’s transfer from Liverpool to Barcelona was far from smooth and his performance dropped significantly afterward, Coutinho was a bright spirit on the pitch at his best.
In modelling Coutinho’s equivalent, Wirtz, a Bayer Leverkusen’s starlet seems to fit the picture to the last detail.

This season, Wirtz has been involved in 38 goals and the manner in which he plays is worth watching.
Due to Thiago Alcântara departing as a free agent, this means that there will always be an opportunity for a player such as Wirtz who also entertains the fans by showcasing his skills during the training sessions. Wirtz would be equally suitable for this role.
Liverpool surely requires a centre-back and there would almost definitely be one during this January transfer window. However, the team also needs its attackers to be reinforced.
However, if Liverpool fails in its endeavor to sign Wirtz, there is always the possibility of the Wirtz moving to a competitor club which would be hugely disadvantageous.
One need that Liverpool must address in the summer transfer window is the strengthening of the team’s center-back position, which has been weakened by Joël Matip’s departure.
Identifying a replacement for Matip is not an easy thing because he is a right-footer who is strong in aerial duels and comfortable in picking a pass to overlap with teammates.
Another fantastic choice is Nico Elvedi from Borussia Mönchengladbach. Of them, Elvedi is the youngest at 27, and he is in his prime and is an accurate passer of the ball, having a pass success rate of 91 percent.
Furthermore, he is in the 91 percentile rank for progressive carries in the major leagues in the past year specifically for the centre back position. When it comes to Elvedi, the player seems like he could really bring something to Liverpool.
