Liverpool are reportedly looking to strengthen their central defence this summer, and one name on their radar is Murillo Santiago Costa of Nottingham Forest.
The Reds are set to get a closer look at the talented defender next weekend, when Liverpool travel to face Forest in the Premier League. Costa has impressed during his time at Forest with his composure on the ball, defensive awareness, and ability to play out from the back — qualities that fit well with Liverpool’s style under Arne Slot.
Premier League Rivals Also Interested
Chelsea and other Premier League sides are also showing keen interest in Costa, meaning Liverpool could face stiff competition if they decide to pursue him.
The club’s urgency to bolster central defence has increased amid uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté’s future. Should Konaté leave in the summer, Slot will need reinforcements to maintain the defensive stability that has been key to Liverpool’s recent performances.
Next Weekend: A Closer Look
Liverpool’s upcoming clash at Forest provides the perfect opportunity to assess Costa firsthand. Scouts and analysts will be watching his positioning, tackling, and ability to cope against Liverpool’s pace and movement in attack.
With a summer transfer window ahead, the race for Costa’s signature promises to be intriguing, and how Liverpool act could signal their intentions for both squad depth and defensive stability.
