An injury-ravaged Liverpool FC outfit might look to bolster their defensive options in the summer transfer window and the latest reports from SportWitness claim that the Reds are monitoring FC Porto man Chancel Mbemba.
The former Newcastle United man might be available for as low as €15 million come the summer and on the back of his impressive run of showings in recent times for the Liga Nos side, Jurgen Klopp has registered interest in signing the 26-year-old
Liverpool FC are expected to welcome the first-choice centre half pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez no sooner than the start of the 2021-22 campaign, with the duo being sidelined earlier this season with long-term layoffs.
With Klopp having been forced to field his midfield options of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho as makeshift central defenders many times over the course of this campaign, the Liverpool FC boss would look to add fresh blood to the ranks at Anfield and Mbemba’s experience of playing in the Premier League previously adds to his glowing credentials.
The Reds’ interest in furthering their defensive depth comes despite the deadline-day arrivals of Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies in the January transfer window.
