According to the latest report from footballinsider247, the English Premier League giants Liverpool have set their sights on the upcoming January transfer window and plan to continue their search for and bring in a No. 6 (defensive midfielder) due to their failure to strengthen their midfield position in this year's summer transfer window.
Reports indicate that Liverpool has been actively looking for a number six player who can enhance the team's midfield control and defensive hardness throughout the summer transfer period. Among them, Real Sociedad's young midfielder Subi Mendi had been one of Liverpool's key targets. After Liverpool agreed to pay as much as 51.3 million pounds in severance pay, it was expected to be able to successfully introduce this potential star, but unfortunately, Subi Mendi finally chose to stay in the Real Sociedad, rejecting Liverpool's invitation.
This result undoubtedly frustrated Liverpool's midfield reinforcement program, but the team did not give up. On the contrary, they have strengthened their determination to continue to seek a new number six in the winter transfer window. It is reported that Liverpool's technical director Slater has regarded the introduction of a new number six player as his next priority, and he will do his best to find a player who can improve the midfield strength and help the team achieve better results in the new season.
For Liverpool, the reinforcement of the midfield position is crucial. As the team has continued to introduce offensive players in recent years, the midfield's ability to defend and control has become a major shortcoming of the team. Especially in the face of strong opponents, Liverpool's midfield is often difficult to resist the opponent's attack, resulting in the team in the game in a passive situation. Therefore, the introduction of a number six player with excellent defensive ability and ball control skills is particularly important for Liverpool.
