Liverpool still interested in signing Chelsea star who is ‘undervalued’ at his $127k salary

Liverpool is reportedly still interested in signing Chelsea defender Levi Colwill, who could be on the move next summer due to a contract that doesn’t align with his true value.

Despite concerns over the future of three key players, Liverpool’s plans for potential signings next summer remain ongoing. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah will all be out of contract next summer, and they could leave for free, signing pre-contract agreements with non-English clubs from January 1.

Fenway Sports Group and Michael Edwards are working hard to secure the futures of these three, but reports now suggest that the club is also eyeing new recruits ahead of the summer transfer window.

One player who could be a target is Chelsea’s rising star Levi Colwill. Liverpool had shown interest in the England international in the past, but Chelsea was unwilling to entertain a sale. Now, however, Chelsea may have no choice due to Colwill’s contract situation. According to The Athletic, the young defender was pursued by Bayern Munich last summer, but Chelsea rejected any notion of selling him.

Colwill’s current contract, valued at $127,000 per week, doesn’t reflect his importance to the team, with the player seen as a future potential first-team captain. Chelsea is reportedly bracing for further interest next summer, at which point Liverpool may revisit its pursuit of the player.

It’s clear that Liverpool will likely target a centre-back, regardless of Van Dijk’s future. The Dutchman is expected to sign a new contract that will see him stay for the remainder of his career on Merseyside. However, Ibrahima Konate might need a high-quality partner as an understudy. Jarell Quansah, while highly regarded, is young and will need competition. Joe Gomez is tipped to leave the club soon, leaving Arne Slot with limited options—particularly if another injury crisis similar to the one in the 2020-21 season occurs.

Liverpool.com states: “Colwill is a quality player, there’s no doubt about that, but Liverpool needs to avoid paying a big transfer fee for a centre-back who may not start.”

While it’s positive to see Liverpool looking to strengthen their squad, the club must be cautious with its spending. Prioritizing contract renewals should remain the focus.

Concerns over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s situation could leave Liverpool in an unexpected predicament

He recently expressed his ambition to be the first full-back to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or, which has intensified speculation about his future.

Fans would be shocked to see the England international leave Liverpool after 20 years, but a report from Football Insider suggests this could soon be a reality.

With Alexander-Arnold “increasingly likely to join” Los Blancos, Liverpool may need to consider selling him in the January transfer window to avoid losing him for free in six months.

Inconceivable situation for Liverpool

This news is sure to alarm supporters.

The thought of Liverpool having to sell one of their greatest academy graduates is a difficult situation for the club to face.

To prevent this outcome, Arne Slot must focus on persuading the player that staying and signing a new deal is the best choice.

Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are also set to be out of contract at the end of the season, though Van Dijk is expected to negotiate a new agreement soon.
