Liverpool step up interest in Zeki Celik after he rejects Roma's latest contract offer
Throughout most of the winter transfer window, Liverpool's fanbase were demanding that Slot and Richard Hughes added another defender or two to their squad.
If everyone was fit, they'd only just have enough players to cover all bases but, with how injury prone some of Slot's defence, such as Conor Bradley have been this term, it's clear that they need to add more players to their ranks.
And, even though no moves were made in January, it seems like the Reds' defence will be the Dutchman's main area of focus in the summer.
That is, according to an update from Tuttosport who share that Liverpool's interest in Roma's Zeki Celik has resurfaced.
The Turkiye international has 'attracted the attention' of the Premier League champions with Juventus and Inter Milan also interested in signing the full back.
Celik, much like most of Slot's recent signings is a fairly versatile player who can play as a right-back, a right-winger or even as a centre-back which, with the Reds' recent injury history, is a massive selling point for the club.
Liverpool's interest in the defender has been piqued due to the fact that his contract is set to expire at the end of the 2025-26 season with the full-back now 'likely' to leave Roma for nothing.
