Liverpool ask about Konstantinos Koulierakis transfer

Liverpool reportedly asked about a potential transfer deal for Wolfsburg defender Konstantinos Koulierakis back in November.

That’s according to a report by Sport Bild, who state that the Reds look to be one of the 21-year-old’s biggest admirers at the moment, though other top clubs such as Real Madrid and AC Milan are also keen.

Koulierakis would likely cost around €40m if he were to leave Wolfsburg, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool decide it’s worth investing that much in the Greece international.

“I CRIED in my car the day I left Man Utd!” – which United legend has hit out at the “lies” about his time at Old Trafford?

The Merseyside giants currently have Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as solid options in defence, but it might soon be time to make a change.

For one thing, Van Dijk is nearing the end of his contract, so won’t necessarily still be at Liverpool next season.

If that’s the case, then a top young defender like Koulierakis could be a fine option to replace the experienced Dutchman.

Liverpool have already had contacts over Koulierakis, according to the Sport Bild report, so it may be that they’ve established decent relations with Wolfsburg ahead of more concrete negotiations for the summer.

Still, one imagines there’ll be other clubs trying to sign the youngster, so LFC might need to keep some other options in mind as well.

The priority, however, will surely be to persuade Van Dijk to sign a new contract as soon as possible.
