Jamie Carragher lists the final two transfers Liverpool must complete to win title 

After Sunday’s draw at Luton, Liverpool lost momentum in the Premier League title battle. Jamie Carragher highlighted that the team still needs two players to seriously challenge Man City.

In order to position Liverpool as championship contenders in the Premier League this season, Jamie Carragher is adamant that they need to bring in a new holding midfielder and full-back.

The former Reds defender discussed how simpler it was to counterattack against Luton during Jurgen Klopp’s team’s disappointing 1-1 draw with them as opposed to Manchester City, who had won five of the previous six Premier League titles.

This outcome keeps Liverpool three points behind Pep Guardiola’s team, who crushed Bournemouth 6-1 on Saturday, and in third place in the standings. In their first six road games this season in the division, the Reds have only triumphed twice.

Carragher thinks that in order for Liverpool to contend for the championship, they still need a specialist holding midfielder. He said to Sky Sports on Sunday, “Liverpool’s midfield is much better than it was last season, but they still don’t have a top holding midfield player.”

“MacAllister’s not a holding midfield player,” mirror Carragher continued. He’s got strong receiving skills, but he struggles defensively and lacks some speed for that position, so I believe they can still get better there.

With Andy Robertson out due to injury, concerns were also raised about Liverpool’s defensive cover in the full-back positions. Since then, Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez have filled the position, but Carragher thinks it’s more crucial to add a right-back.

“I think Liverpool could do with a great defender who can play a couple of positions in the back four, rather than so much a player for a specific position,” he continued. They decided to start Gomez at left back today rather than Tsimikas because they believed he would be more capable in defence.

“I still believe that Liverpool could use another player in that position. Trent could be released into midfield at different times, and you could play someone there against certain opponents who is maybe tougher and stronger defensively.”

In summarising his views on Liverpool’s current situation, Carragher predicts that although Klopp’s team has improved from the group that finished an unimpressive fifth last season, they will not be able to launch a meaningful title challenge.

“I believe Liverpool is not prepared to win the league,” asserted the ex-defender. “Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool fans, I believe, are aware of that at this time. They aim to return to the top four, but I believe they need a better defender and another midfielder to be competitive once more.

What Real Madrid is presently considering in regards to selling Liverpool an “exceptional” player

Despite speculation that teams like Liverpool would be interested in Aurelien Tchouameni in 2024, Real Madrid is allegedly not planning to let him go.

The French international is not being let go by Los Blancos, despite worries this summer that Jude Bellingham’s arrival would push Tchouameni out of the Madrid starting lineup, according to 90min.

Sadly for Liverpool, though, the exact reverse has occurred, as the 23-year-old midfielder has established himself as a vital member of Carlo Ancelotti’s team this season, beginning in the El Clasico last weekend.

Paul Pogba called Tchouameni a “exceptional” player, and Liverpool has been linked to him for what seems like forever.

And the Reds’ bold plan to sign the French international and bring him to Anfield in 2024 may be severely derailed by this most recent news.

Tchouameni would be a fantastic midfield addition to Liverpool’s current roster, but it would be strange for the young player to leave this Madrid club, as Los Blancos are building something spectacular.

It would be insane for Tchouameni to move from Madrid to Liverpool.

Exciting times are ahead in the Spanish city, and Tchouameni leaving Madrid for Liverpool would be an extremely absurd move. He would star alongside Bellingham in a revamped midfield.

The world’s largest club is home to the French international, who is assembling one of the most intriguing midfield combinations in sports history.

Furthermore, Liverpool should have given up on signing Tchouameni as the Reds have no chance of doing so even if they try again in 2024.
