Liverpool fans tell Arne Slot to abandon Alexander Isak to move to solve the problem against AC Milan
Liverpool fans told Arne Slot to abandon their pursuit for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, after spotting another major problem in the friendly match with AC Milan.
The Premier League champions have spent 265 million pounds sterling so far this summer, bringing Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong de Bayer Leverkusen, as well as Milos Kerkez de Bournemouth, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Hugo Ekitike, who reported to Eintracht Frankfurt for an amount of 79 million pounds Sterling.
There is still noise indicating that Liverpool could break the bank for Isak, who is unstable in Newcastle and wants to move on.
Having seen him reject a gigantic move in Saudi, Liverpool would be the only club of “concrete talks” for the Swedish according to Fabrizio Romano.
Wirtz led the line in the first friend of Liverpool during his pre-season tour in Asia, which ended with a 4-2 defeat in the hands of Milan.
And there were concerns from Liverpool’s point of view, with many reds concerned about options to the central defender.
Liverpool allowed Jarell Quansah to leave for Leverkusen and Joe Gomez returned home from their tour after suffering from an injury from Achilles.
Virgil Van Dijk’s regular partner is Ibrahima Konate and Ryan Gravenberch is capable of overcoming, as he did against Milan.
But with a shortage of options, Liverpool fans call to rethink their transfer plans.
On X, a fan said: “This CB problem is urgent, put these Isak plans waiting.”
A second commented: “We have to sign a center before the start of the season.”
A third wrote: “Yes, a central back should be our number one priority.”
A fourth agreed, declaring: “An injury to Konate and we are cooked.”
A last worried supporter published: “We sold Quansah in mid-June and we still do not have another center. I know that we needed to improve our front line, but we literally have 3 natural central backs on our books and one of them is injured every 5 minutes.”
Arne Slot comments on the situation of Liverpool
During his post -match press conference, Slot clarified the absences of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez of his squad and was also asked about the situation in central defense – recognizing that Quansah was not replaced.
Speaking next to the van Dijk skipper, slot said: “I don’t think we have a central back concern. Ryan has shown that he could play this position, he did it as well as we favor it as No. 6. Wata Endo can play it.
“So we have enough options, but it is true that Jarell Quansah is gone and that we have not yet replaced him.”
Liverpool is back in action on Wednesday when they play the Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos.
