Liverpool are preparing to go head-to-head with arch-rivals Manchester United in the race to sign a Premier League centre-back valued at around £23 million.
The defender, hailed as a “born leader” on the pitch, has rapidly earned a reputation as one of the most dependable young players in England’s top flight.
New Liverpool boss Arne Slot is eager to reinforce his defensive options, and this player has been identified as a perfect addition to his squad. However, Manchester United are equally determined to strengthen at the back, with Erik ten Hag pushing for reinforcements following last season’s defensive injury crisis.
The transfer battle between the two historic rivals has already generated huge excitement among supporters, who view the potential signing as a key move ahead of the new campaign.
Talks are expected to progress quickly, with negotiations set to intensify in the coming days as both clubs push hard to secure the defender’s signature.
