Liverpool Unlikely to Sign New Defender in January, Says Klopp

Despite Matip's season-ending injury, Klopp expresses confidence in remaining centre-backs and leaves door open for possible contract extension.

Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's manager, has stated that the club is unlikely to sign a new defender in January to replace Joel Matip, who recently suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Klopp cited the difficulty and cost of finding a suitable replacement in the winter transfer window, stating that the club doesn't operate in a 'wonderland' where top players are readily available.
Despite Matip's injury, Klopp expressed confidence in the remaining four centre-backs: Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, and youngster Jarell Quansah.
Matip's contract with Liverpool ends at the end of the season, and while his injury could mean he has played his last game for the club, Klopp suggested there could be a possibility of a contract extension.
Klopp's comments have sparked debate about whether Liverpool should prioritize signing a new right-back or a new centre-back in the upcoming transfer window.
