Although Liverpool have prioritized a new midfielder, Arne Slot could count on a new center-back even after Joel Matip’s departure.

As we approach the final two weeks of the summer transfer window, Liverpool have made a bid to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad – despite the Spanish national team rejecting the Reds.It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will continue to push for the midfielder, or turn their attention elsewhere, but in the meantime, a fantastic opportunity to sign a defensive target has emerged.

A story from Kicker in Germany now says that Bayer Leverkusen have decided to sign Sepp van den Berg – if Odilon Kossounou leaves this summer

Xabi Alonso has made the decision as the future of the Ivory Coast International is shrouded in uncertainty.

It comes after the Daily Briefing in June revealed that Liverpool show a strong desire to sign Kossounou this summer, who enjoyed a memorable 2023/24 campaign as he won the Africa Cup of Nations before completing a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double with Bayer Leverkusen.It is – admittedly – ​​rare to see clubs engage in player plus cash deals these days, although given Alonso’s relationship with Liverpool, along with the individual situations of Van den Berg and Kossounou, we certainly believe there is a chance of an agreement being reached if all parties engage.
