Liverpool are already planning for life after Virgil van Dijk and have identified two main centre-back targets.
The club’s shortlist includes:
Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan)
Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund)
Both defenders are seen as long-term solutions, with Liverpool aiming to secure a high-level replacement as Van Dijk enters the later stage of his career.
The plan is clear:
build the next defensive leader before the current era ends.
