Liverpool are expected to be in the market for right-backs next summer if Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
The Merseyside giants are still in talks with Alexander-Arnold over a new deal but there is still no agreement over a new contract between the club and the player.
Liverpool are still pushing to ensure that the defender agrees to sign a new contract and extends his stay but the club are also preparing for the possibility of him leaving at the end of the season.
Richard Hughes and his recruitment team are gradually compiling a shortlist of targets for next summer and several right-backs are being assessed by the club at the moment.
The Merseyside giants are looking at options both in the Premier League and Europe but one player from the Eredivisie has especially caught the eye of the Reds.
But they will face Premier League competition
It emerged recently that Ajax’s 21-year-old right-back Devyne Rensch has popped up on the radar of Liverpool for a potential move next summer.
The Dutch defender has wowed the Liverpool scouts and the club have received glowing reports on his performance for Ajax this season.
However, there is no certainty on whether the defender would be keen on leaving Ajax in January and it has been claimed that there are other clubs in the race as well.
According to the Catalan daily Sport, Tottenham are among the clubs who are considering snapping up Rensch from Ajax next summer.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The north London club are worried about losing Pedro Porro at the end of the season and they have identified the Dutchman as a potential replacement for the Spaniard.
Catalan giants Barcelona are also interested in the Ajax star and are mulling over making a move for him at the end of the season.
Liverpool have not made a final decision on whether to sign Rensch as there is still no certainty about Alexander-Arnold’s future.
However, they could be forced into making a call if either Barcelona or Tottenham step up their interest in the Ajax star.
