We move to another player who might leave in the summer, van Dijk. He is very important in organizing Liverpool's defense and provides good levels and has many skills that make him one of the best defenders in the world.
Therefore, if he leaves Liverpool, he will leave a big void. Perhaps the Reds will suffer if he isn't replaced with a player at the same level.
The options could be many, but these players who provide a level close to Virgil are few, and therefore choosing a player to compensate for Va will be difficult, but there are some promising names that might be promising:
Jorrel Hato of Ajax is a player I talked about in a separate article where I discussed the player's advantages and positive points that make him the first alternative to the Dutch defender Van Dijk, you'll find it here.
The second alternative is the French player and Sevilla's Loïc Badé, a promising 24-year-old player who has provided good performance with Sevilla.
He's played almost all matches this season, has a good passing rate, and therefore will be a fundamental piece in the Reds' system which relies heavily on building play from the back.
Good passing rate of 93% per match, also good at long passing in the opponent's field, and this is also from the Reds' strategy as they rely on van Dijk in sending direct balls to Salah or Jota.
I think Loïc Badé's profile is compatible with Liverpool's playing system.
Other defensive options
The third option is Brazil and Nottingham Forest's Murillo who is a promising 22-year-old player who has a good record with Nottingham this season, participated in all team matches this season.
Coach Nuno Santos relies on him in the team's defensive structure, and he contributed to achieving 10 clean sheet matches equal with Liverpool.
A player with good value and with this wonderful defensive record will certainly suit Liverpool. His passing rate is good at 88%, and as we mentioned earlier, the defender's passing rate is important for a player playing with Liverpool.
We move to Alexander-Arnold, who is of course a Liverpool legacy and was one of the rocks of Liverpool's project in recent years and provided good performance at the defense and attack levels and participated in creating many goals.
Liverpool must realize finding a player at the same level as TAA is not easy but I see that the suitable player for this is in Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.
Frimpong won, as we know, the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen and provided good performance with his coach Xabi Alonso. Frimpong during the previous season played all Leverkusen matches and scored 9 goals and made 7 assists.
A good rate for a player playing in this position, a fast player who has awareness with and without the ball, good passing rate of 81% per match, but long pass rate much less, but tactically and technically very good player and suitable for the Reds' way of playing.
