Jakarta –
Liverpool is in a central defender crisis. In this situation, the Reds did not need to sign off Sergio Ramos except in a state of despair.
Liverpool lost Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez who are seriously injured. Van Dijk sustained a torn Cruciate Ligament while Gomez sustained damage to his knee tendon, both of which had to be out of action for months.
There are many defenders that Liverpool can get for free, such as Ezequiel Garay, who is not yet a club after parting ways with Valencia. Even with Daryl Janmaat, who last played for Watford.
Well, from the two names, there are also famous defender from Spain who also captains Real Madrid. Is Sergio Ramos, whose contract with Los Blancos will expire at the end of this season.
Ramos has yet to sign a new contract and can freely negotiate with any club in January 2021. Liverpool certainly have a chance to get the 34-year-old defender, but if the Reds are desperate they can’t reach a younger one like RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.
“I don’t want to make this sound bad, but it depends on how desperate they (Liverpool) are,” Steve Nicol, who played for Liverpool from 1981 to 1994, told ESPN.
“If you can’t get it (Upamecano), then you go down to the next list. Obviously, you want younger players, who will be there for some time,” he continued.
“So, listen, if they get Ramos it will only be for a couple of seasons. I think he’s been down a bit. But it’s not the worst signing ever; he’s going to do the job. But he’s injured today, he’s got a hamstring problem. , “Nicol insisted.
Liverpool currently only has Joel Matip, who is in his original position at center-back and has enough experience to rely on in that position. Fabinho, who plays the original role as a midfielder, could be a short solution to overcome this shortcoming, but is currently not fit.
