Liverpool contends with Juventus for RB Leipzig defender Simakan

The Reds are currently seeking a new defender and reports suggest they are highly interested in acquiring RB Leipzig's Simakan for their squad.

Per Sky Deutschland, the youngster is also wanted by Italian giants Juventus.

As for Liverpool, they are yet to confirm their first signing of the Arne Slot era.

The Dutch manager was hoping to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, but was unsuccessful.

But with the sale of Sepp van den Berg, he may get to add Simakan to the squad.
