Xabi Alonso may have hinted at Liverpool alternative if they can't sign Levi Colwill
Having already signed two midfielders as part of a long-awaited engine room revamp, a new centre-back, preferably left-sided is also on Liverpool’s wishlist this summer.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed as much back in May when directly asked if he would like to sign a new centre-back.
"We look in all departments apart from goalkeeper at the moment," the Reds boss told reporters. "Yes, if there is a good one (centre-back) out there, I would not deny it. That's all. We look at all areas of the pitch, definitely."
Consequently, Liverpool have been linked with a host of names all summer as a result. And while club sources have dismissed speculation crediting the Reds with interest in Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard and Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio, links to other rumoured targets persist.

Liverpool make subtle switch in transfer pursuit of Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia
Chelsea’s Levi Colwill has his admirers at Anfield, and certainly caught the eye when helping England win the Under-21s European Championships this summer. Elsewhere, Liverpool continue to be linked with Torino’s Perr Schuurs and VfL Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven, though it is Tottenham Hotspur who are reportedly currently in talks to sign the latter.
It would seem that Colwill is the current subject of Reds desires, though a transfer appears difficult to complete at this time. Football London has reported that Liverpool have made 'multiple enquiries' over the defender’s availability, but Chelsea have no desire to sell as things stand.
