Liverpool are closely watching Fulham’s defender, Tosin Adarabioyo, as uncertainty looms over the future of star defender Virgil van Dijk. Adarabioyo, whose contract expires this summer, has been in impressive form for Fulham, catching the eye of both Liverpool and AC Milan. With Jurgen Klopp’s departure from Anfield, Liverpool is already planning for the future and is keen on adding a new center-back to their squad.
Joel Matip’s severe knee injury and potential departure, coupled with Virgil van Dijk’s recent hints at leaving, have amplified Liverpool’s need for defensive reinforcements. Liverpool’s interest in Adarabioyo also stems from the need to fulfill their quota of homegrown players in the Champions League.
Fulham, however, is not ready to let go of the talented defender easily and is preparing a contract extension offer to fend off interest from other clubs. Adarabioyo, for his part, remains open to the idea of staying at Craven Cottage and is expected to make a decision about his future at the end of the season.
Interestingly, Adarabioyo’s injury scare at Burnley doesn’t seem to have diminished his value, with him expected to be fit for Fulham’s upcoming match against Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s previous interest in Adarabioyo has likely diminished following their January acquisition of Radu Dragusin from Genoa.
Overall, Liverpool’s monitoring of Adarabioyo underscores their proactive approach to securing defensive stability in the wake of significant changes within the club. The evolving situation promises to keep fans and enthusiasts alike on their toes as the summer transfer window approaches.
