Liverpool are in the market for a centre-back, and the club are keen to add one more option in their defensive ranks this summer. However, their central defender search this summer has not gone according to plan, and one more top target could be on his way to a top European club.
The Merseyside giants hope to finalise a mega-money deal to sign Florian Wirtz this week, and progress in talks to secure a move for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
However, Liverpool still have a couple of priorities to sort out in the market and signing a centre-back has been a key goal in the ongoing transfer window.
They missed out on Dean Huijsen, who joined Real Madrid earlier this summer, and it appears one more target could be snapped up by another top European club in the coming weeks.

European giants make move for a top Reds target

Min-jae Kim’s future at Bayer Munich is under the scanner, and the German champions are open to offers for the defender this summer.
Liverpool are monitoring his situation closely and are considering getting their hands on the South Korean centre-back in the ongoing transfer window.
However, according to Foot Mercato, Paris Saint-Germain have made a bold move by meeting the player’s agent to discuss a transfer.
Luis Campo, PSG’s sports advisor, had a meeting with Kim’s agent, and the club expressed their interest in taking him to the Parc des Princes this summer.
Winning the Champions League has enhanced their reputation, and PSG need to bring in a centre-back to replace Marquinhos, who will leave this summer.
Kim has also attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League, where Al-Nassr have made a move to try and land his signing in the ongoing transfer window.
