Mario Hermoso Adrien Rabiot Wilfred Ndidi Lloyd Kelly
Kylian Mbappe is a name that will not disappear from Liverpool.The French forward, who is entering the final six months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, has the right to negotiate a possible transfer with the clubs until the summer. Liverpool have again been touted as a potential destination for the prolific forward, who could sign as a free agent when his current contract expires at the end of the current season. However, Mbappe is not the only player Liverpool can sign on a free transfer. I considered five more names that could pay attention to the contract with the next contract.
Atletico MadridThe 28-year-old centre-back started his career with Spanish giants Real Madrid and currently plays for local rivals Atletico. Hermoso has made over 150 appearances for Diego Simeone and could provide Liverpool with much-needed depth in an unexpected area of the pitch. What remains to be seen is Joel Matip’s future at the club, with the Cameroonian also out of contract in the coming months. If Matip is to be moved by the Reds, the need for signings in this area will increase. It should be noted that Matip came to Anfield for free.
Perhaps Hermoso will follow suit and succeed.
The French midfielder has been linked with Liverpool several times in the past and is once again facing uncertainty over his future. Rabiot was due to leave Juventus last summer but decided in June to extend his stay in Italy for another year. A player of his caliber cannot be scoffed at if a deal is completed at Liverpool this month ahead of a summer move. Paul almost became a Liverpool player in 2016 and even wore a red shirt with his name on the back, later signing for Napoli. Zielinski has remained at the Italian club ever since and has been an excellent servant to his current employers over the years.Inter and West Ham are also interested in the 29-year-old, meaning Liverpool will need to act quickly to reach a deal.
Liverpool are yet to find a long-term solution to their number six problem, but could do so by signing Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester.The Nigerian defensive midfielder has made 21 league appearances for the Foxes this season and has played a key role in some impressive results, helping the club take full control of the top flight. Leicester manager Enzo Maresca said last month that talks had taken place with Ndidi and seven other first-team players whose contracts are due to expire soon. I hope everyone stays focused on this season and our goals. We will then see where we are in February and March and make a decision.”The most important thing now is to stay focused and keep doing what you’re doing, that’s the only thing I’m worried about today. “It’s time to sign a new contract,” he said.
Another defensive option for Liverpool is Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly.
