Reports Link Liverpool With Centre-Back Targets Marc Pubill and Dean Huijsen

Spanish reports link Liverpool with Marc Pubill alongside Dean Huijsen in a reassessment of centre-back depth.

Overview

  • Liverpool are reported to be monitoring Real Madrid’s Dean Huijsen, with one report saying a formal £60m offer is being prepared for the summer window after tracking his 28 appearances this season.
  • Separate Spanish-sourced reports say Liverpool have scouted Atlético Madrid’s Marc Pubill and view him favorably after his switch to a right-sided centre-back role and strong aerial metrics reported by FOTMOB.
  • Ibrahima Konaté is out of contract this summer, and multiple reports suggest Liverpool are identifying potential replacements while also evaluating the futures of other defenders.
  • Any deal for Pubill would be complex given his Atlético contract runs to 2030, and Real Madrid are also expected to resist selling Huijsen, with suggested valuations in the €70m/£60m range reported.
  • Liverpool have already added Giovanni Leoni and have Jeremy Jacquet set to join in July, yet reports indicate the club could still pursue a further senior centre-back, with no agreements announced.
