Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool FC is undoubtedly one of the biggest failures of the European football season so far. A long way off the UEFA Champions League places, the Reds need to make drastic changes to a squad that, after winning everything under the German coach, seems to have become too comfortable.

That is why Victor Nelsson, currently playing for Galatasaray, would be in Jürgen Klopp's plans to reinforce the English defence for next season, as reported by the Turkish media Fanatik. Victor Nelsson would be a great reinforcement for the German coach of Liverpool FC, as he is a defender with a lot of projection. At just 23 years of age, the Galatasaray centre-back has established himself as a regular in the Denmark squad and is aiming to play his first World Cup in Qatar 2022.

In terms of football, Victor Nelsson stands out as a very physical, forceful and tactically intelligent player. In this sense, the Dane has established himself as a real specialist in stealing balls and knows how to read the spaces in defence with great ease. In addition, his height (185cm) allows him to be imposing in aerial duels. A series of characteristics that would be to blame for the interest shown by Jürgen Klopp.

It is not the first time that Victor Nelsson has been linked with a Champions League team, as last summer it was Sevilla FC, led by their sporting director Monchi, who tried to acquire his services. However, despite a formal offer of 15 million euros, the Turks did not accept the proposal and Victor Nelsson did not move from Istanbul.

The main reason for his unsuccessful signing by Sevilla was the final transfer fee, as Galatasaray asked for 20 million euros. An amount that Sevilla were unwilling to pay, but that would not be a problem for a Liverpool side that has its coffers full and is waiting to strengthen its squad.
