Liverpool want to sign 'new Van Dijk' in transfer window

Offensively they have some worrying deficiencies, and need to generate too many chances to be able to score goals. Defensively they are also very weak, and they miss the centre-back pairing of Jules Koundé and Diego Carlos. They didn't cover their outlets well, and now at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán they hope to make amends for the huge planning mistake they made, and for that they had Jurrien Timber in mind.

The Dutch international has become one of the most sought-after and sought-after defenders on the continent, thanks to his incredible performances for Ajax Amsterdam. That had put him on the agenda of a number of clubs, and among them was the Andalusian institution. Unfortunately, the high asking price of around 30 million euros made it difficult to reach an agreement.

And if that was not enough, now a 'top' club has appeared that is willing to bet very strongly on the promising centre-back or full-back of only 21 years old. Liverpool have not had a good start to the season either, and are a disappointing tenth in the Premier League table.

Jürgen Klopp believes that the only way to get out of the negative dynamic in which they find themselves is to make a revolution in the squad, and that is what he has asked the board. The area he has insisted on reinforcing most is the rearguard, and for this he has thought of Timber, who he faced a few weeks ago in the Champions League group stage, and was amazed by his qualities. Anfield are accelerating their efforts to close the deal. Timber is currently focused on his commitments at the Johan Cruyff Arena and with the Netherlands national team, with whom he will almost certainly play at the World Cup in Qatar.

But he is not neglecting his future, and does not rule out a move in the winter transfer window. Anfield have already accelerated the negotiations to try to close the deal and leave everything on track, and the idea of joining the 'Reds' project seems to be quite seductive for Jurrien. Sevilla must start to forget about him.
