In their ongoing hunt for a central defender, Liverpool may consider Mo Simakan, another standout player from RB Leipzig.
The Reds’ decision-makers are apparently intrigued by the French U21 international, even though the team hasn’t made a senior acquisition since Arne Slot.
According to Fabrizio Romano, formal talks between the player and the club regarding his services during the current transfer window have not yet taken place.
We heard this rumour today from Germany. The CaughtOffside blogger said on his YouTube channel,
“What I can tell you is that Liverpool – people in charge, people in the board at Liverpool – have been tracking and know Mo Simakan very well.
They have been following the player and believe he is a very talented defender.
At the moment, there are no concrete negotiations between the agents of Simakan and Liverpool or Liverpool and Leipzig, so this is the situation. But I can confirm this is one of many centre-backs they have been tracking.”
The 24-year-old is mostly a center-back, but he has made 14 appearances as a right-back in 2023–2024.
In the previous campaign, Simakan contributed a commendable seven goals.
Is Mo Simakan A Good Fit For Liverpool?
Jurgen Klopp valued versatility highly while evaluating the worth of his team and prospective additions.
We have a sneaking suspicion that it will be useful with Arne Slot, the German tactician’s replacement.
It provides new prospects for the Liverpool contingent now in place. For example, permitting our new Dutch head coach to permanently move Joe Gomez back to a central defensive position.
Even if it doesn’t appear likely that our coaching staff will force Trent Alexander-Arnold into midfield, there still might be some space for more discussion over his ideal position.
While we continue to believe that a left-sided centre-back would be more valuable at this time, it wouldn’t hurt to keep an eye on Simakan in the meanwhile.
