Liverpool is actively working in the transfer market to strengthen its defensive line. Former defender Glen Johnson believes it would be advisable for the club to focus on signing Nottingham Forest's Murillo and Tottenham's Micky van de Ven. This is reported by Goal.com .
Given that Ibrahima Konate's contract is nearing its end and Virgil van Dijk is aging, Liverpool needs new names in central defense. The team is looking for ready-made players who can compete for the title this season, rather than just for the future.
Glen Johnson emphasizes that acquiring players with Premier League experience should be a priority for Liverpool. According to him, the team has little time and needs high-level defenders who can deliver immediate results.
While Murillo has attracted the attention of many top clubs with his consistent performance, Micky van de Ven stands out for his speed and physical strength. The Liverpool board plans to resolve defensive issues by strengthening these specific positions ahead of the 2026 season.
