It was a bright start to the international break for Liverpool’s contingent but the look ahead to domestic action continues to see tempers flair over the Wembley semi-final.
Reds continue to keep an eye on Araujo
Liverpool have a healthy centre-back contingent and the ability for Jurgen Klopp to rotate has proven instrumental in what has proven to be a memorable season so far.
But after the problems posed in 2020/21, Liverpool will know more than most just how quickly things can change.
And following up from a report late last year, according to ESPN the Reds are continuing to monitor the situation of Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo.
The 23-year-old is out of contract in 2023 and initial talks for a new deal have “failed to yield an agreement,” with the Reds and Man United said to be ready to pounce if that remains the case.
Barcelona are offering a deal worth £4.16 million per year but the report states the “money on the table in England is worth almost double Barca’s offer.”
Scouts have been out to watch Araujo but whether monitoring ever changes to a pursuit remains to be seen, with Liverpool only likely taking action should Joe Gomez‘s future come under question.
