Arne Slot, the incoming Liverpool boss, is unlikely to have Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo at his disposal next season.
Reports suggest that Adarabioyo is closing in on a move to Newcastle and is set to join St James’ Park on a deal worth around £100,000 per week. The availability of Adarabioyo on a free transfer has allowed Newcastle to put together an attractive financial package, potentially leading to his move to Tyneside.
This development leaves Liverpool in search of defensive reinforcements as they will have to look elsewhere to improve their defensive ranks in the summer. Liverpool has been linked with high-profile names such as Piero Hincapie, Edmond Tapsoba, and Goncalo Inacio, as they face the potential departure of Joel Matip and the deployment of Joe Gomez at right-back.
With Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as their two standout options in central defense, the emergence of Jarell Quansah is also expected to play an important role next season under Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool icon John Aldridge has recently suggested a surprise move for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who is reportedly a target for Manchester United.
However, the rivalry between the two Merseyside clubs may make a move to Anfield unlikely, despite Aldridge’s belief in Branthwaite’s potential.
