Overview
- Liverpool confirmed Conor Bradley has had knee surgery and is likely out for the remainder of the season, intensifying the need for cover at right-back.
- The club has already filled its 17 overseas-player quota for Premier League and Champions League lists, restricting January signings to homegrown players unless departures create space.
- Reports in Germany link Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Ryerson as a potential right-back target, with Jeremie Frimpong currently the only natural option but often used higher up.
- Sources indicate Liverpool intend to add a centre-back either this month or in the summer, with no January bid expected for Club Brugge’s Joel Ordonez and a summer move viewed as more likely.
- Liverpool maintain interest in Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi and are monitoring Como’s Jacobo Ramon and Rennes’ Jeremy Jacquet, while the only confirmed arrival so far is 18-year-old Mor Talla Ndiaye for the under-21s.
