In what would be a huge move for Liverpool, reports in Portugal’s newspaper A Bola are claiming that Liverpool are in talks in Lisbon with Sporting representatives to sign 24-year-old defensive midfielder William Carvalho. The Portuguese publication reports that Sporting would need a €30m offer for the talented midfielder.
Carvalho, a member of the Euro 2016 winners Portugal, is a very highly-rated player. And it is exactly the position that Liverpool need help in. Look at Chelsea with N’Golo Kante. That man can stop anything. If Liverpool had a dedicated defensive midfielder, they would be a much bigger threat.
This doesn’t even have to be one of those Gennaro Gattuso type guys, either. It doesn’t have to be someone that will go around trying to kill the opposition. They just need someone to be an enforcer and to help defend above all else.
Every big side that’s ever been has had a player like this, and Carvalho would fit in very well with Liverpool. The deal seems unlikely, though, right now because of the late timing in relation to the end of the window. Liverpool fans may have to wait until summer to see it come to fruition.
