Liverpool Interested in Youri Baas
According to DaveOCKOP, Liverpool is monitoring Ajax center-back Youri Baas, a 22-year-old who has impressed with his skill and awareness in the Eredivisie.
Baas meets the profile of recent defensive targets, showing comfort with the ball and good tactical understanding, but any interest is currently in early stages.
The club is exploring options across Europe as they evaluate their defensive requirements for the upcoming season.
Ryan Flamingo Linked to Liverpool
Ryan Flamingo, a defender from PSV Eindhoven, is another player reportedly linked to Liverpool, as noted by DaveOCKOP, as the club continues its scouting in the Eredivisie.
The 23-year-old’s physical attributes and versatility have made him a staple in PSV’s lineup, drawing attention from scouts.
However, similar to Baas, these connections are part of a broader scouting strategy rather than a sign of an immediate transfer.
False Claims About Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Hammers News revealed that reports linking Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Liverpool were refuted by West Ham officials, who labeled the allegations as inaccurate.
The right-back has performed well at West Ham, which led to speculation about Liverpool’s interest ahead of the winter transfer window.
These claims have since been confirmed as unfounded, reaffirming that Wan-Bissaka is not a target for Liverpool.
At this point, Liverpool’s defensive pursuits seem to be part of a longer-term strategy, with only a handful of names showing real potential.
