Liverpool’s hunt for the perfect No. 6 has been difficult in recent years, with unsuccessful signings of Aurelien Tchouameni and Moises Caicedo among them. Martin Zubimendi turned down the Reds this summer as well, opting to stay with his hometown club, Real Sociedad. Despite these losses, Liverpool still has an opportunity to redeem themselves and bring in the ideal No. 6 for Arne Slot, especially now that a recent transfer move may have made it easier to land their target.
Liverpool continues to search for a No. 6, especially thus late in the transfer season, since bolstering this position remains of paramount importance despite Ryan Gravenberch’s recent excellent play. Lucas Gourna-Douath from Red Bull Salzburg is a prospective target. The 21-year-old midfielder shined in the Champions League last season and has all of the characteristics that would make him an ideal fit for Slot, including strong defensive talents and effective distribution.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool may have advanced in their pursuit of Gourna-Douath by considering loaning Stefan Bajcetic to Red Bull Salzburg. Bajcetic might replace Gourna-Douath at Salzburg, allowing Liverpool to sign the midfielder before the transfer season shuts. Gourna-Douath was on the bench for Salzburg’s Champions League qualifier on Tuesday night, signaling that he may be available for a move. However, time is running out, and Liverpool must act swiftly to complete the deal.
