Liverpool can REPEAT Gravenberch - Bayern deal | OneFootball

Liverpool could be facing significant disruption at centre-back this summer. There is uncertainty around a number of squad members which could see Arne Slot and Richard Hughes requiring a restock during the transfer window.

Although Virgil van Dijk has been secured on a deal until 2027, other Liverpool players in the position could be sold. Let’s start with Ibrahima Konate.

Out of contract in 2026, the Frenchman has yet to commit to a new deal. If no resolution is reached then the club could cash in rather than lose him for free.

And when it comes to Joe Gomez, he too could be made available. The 28-year-old endured a tough season through injury and a lack of opportunities. There is plenty of interest in the England man from around the Premier League.

Jarell Quansah is another who might find himself at the exit door. In possession of a long-term contract and homegrown status, the 22-year-old would be an attractive signing for several clubs and could bring in useful funds for the transfer window ahead.

Liverpool made aware of Kim Min-jae availability

If any of those three leave then replacements will be required. And one new name on the list which has materialised is that of Kim Min-jae. The South Korea international is reported to be surplus to requirements by TBR Football this summer.

Bayern want to facilitate a new contract for Dayot Upamecano and also see new signing Jonathan Tah as their other first-choice option. Accordingly, bids could be heard for Kim, who is 28 and under contract until 2028.

The same report lists Liverpool as potential suitors for the former Napoli defender, who joined Bayern back in 2023.

Could Liverpool repeat Gravenberch deal?

“Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle have all been made aware that Min-jae Kim could be available this summer,” the report reads.

Last season he made 27 starts for the German league champions, missing the last few games of the campaign with ankle problems. He would provide a high-calibre partner for Van Dijk in the seasons ahead should it come to pass that Konate leaves.

Otherwise, he could be a useful rotation option with Van Dijk about to turn 34 and Konate prone to injuries throughout his Liverpool career.

Kim wouldn’t be the first out-of-favour Bayern player to be picked up by the Reds either. Back in 2023, Jurgen Klopp struck an expert deal for Ryan Gravenberch, who was struggling to break through in Bavaria.
