Liverpool KEEN on Argentine defender | OneFootball

This summer, no transfer link will be left un-turned and if it is plausible that a player who could assist Liverpool is interested in a move to Merseyside then they will be added to a shortlist.

Now the the Premier League is secured, Arne Slot is to be financially backed this summer and a significant turnover of players is expected, which will require them to be replaced accordingly.

If we take Trent Alexander-Arnold for example; Conor Bradley will step up in his place, but the services of Jeremie Frimpong will be useful to help replace the English right-back's creativity.

But that's not all. Until a linked player is confirmed by the club, you can expect to see other transfer links with players who were considered earlier on in the process.

This is what looks to have been the case with Nahuel Molina at Atletico Madrid.

Argentine right-back on Liverpool's radar

According to the Spanish news outlet MARCA, Liverpool were considering a move for Molina this season, a 27-year-old reliable full-back who is known for his attacking forages from time to time.

Capable of playing as a right-sided defender or a right-sided midfielder, he has been an important asset in Diego Simeone's system for three seasons now, playing regular minutes in all competitions.

Off the ball he would help create attacks moving forward and when his team were in danger of being counter-attacked, he would never shy away from putting in a crunching tackle.

After a mildly successful three-year spell in Spain, for which he cost Atletico £17m to move from Udinese, he would've offered Liverpool an experienced pair of hands at the back to cover Trent in the short-term, although presumably he will not be a player that is considered moving forward.
