One of Liverpool\u2019s biggest problems this season has been the right-back position, and a reliable journalist has confirmed that Inter Milan star Denzel Dumfries is on their radar ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n
The Reds entered the campaign with Jeremie Frimpong battling with Conor Bradley for starts. Joe Gomez is no stranger to deputising at right-back when required, while Wataru Endo is an option in the position, too.<\/p>\n
However, all four of those players have spent massive chunks of the season injured. As such, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have been forced to play at full-back.<\/p>\n
TEAMtalk transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported earlier this month how Liverpool<\/a> are considering right-back targets for the summer, and that Dumfries is a player they\u2019ve been alerted to.<\/a><\/p>\n We revealed that intermediaries working on behalf of the player had \u2018offered\u2019 Dumfries to a number of Premier League sides, including the Reds.<\/p>\n Dumfries has a release clause of around \u00a321million in his Inter contract \u2013 a bargain for a player with the 30-year-old\u2019s quality and experience. That has Liverpool\u2019s attention, but they don\u2019t want to panic buy, as they do believe Bradley and Frimpong are good options when fit.<\/p>\n According to Paul Joyce of\u00a0The Times<\/a>,\u00a0Liverpool are \u2018aware\u2019 of the clause in Dumfries<\/a>\u2018 deal, and he reports that Bradley\u2019s injury problems mean they must give \u2018serious thought\u2019 to adding a new full-back.<\/p>\n Joyce confirms that Dumfries was considered in the January window, but instead they focused on securing the signing of Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet.<\/p>\n But now Dumfries appears to be back on their radar, and our information suggests he would be open to a new challenge in English football.<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
