Carragher makes Liverpool transfer demand following Nottingham Forest draw

Jamie Carragher has implored Liverpool to sign a central defender this month following the club’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

The home side, who remain the only team to have defeated Arne Slot’s Liverpool in the Premier League this season took the lead when Chris Wood latched onto a weighted pass from Anthony Elanga and finished clinically.

Despite Liverpool dominating possession for much of the match, they struggled to convert their control into meaningful opportunities. For his first touch of the ball, substitute Diogo Jota scored from a corner halfway through the second half.

Liverpool pushed hard for a winner, but Forest’s goalkeeper Matz Sels produced two outstanding saves to deny Jota and Mohamed Salah. Ola Aina also came to Forest’s rescue, clearing a Salah effort off the line.

And after the contest, Carragher said that Liverpool should have won but their defence was still shaky and they must look for a new defender. Ibrahima Konate was hooked off on 66 minutes as he recovers to full fitness – and the former Reds man believes that additions need to be made to ensure that the Premier League title is theirs.

Carragher posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Liverpool should’ve won tonight, but they continue to create big chances even in the games they don’t win, but the defensive solidity they had at the start of the season has gone. Always look likely to concede. Buy a defender!!!!”

There have not been too many links but a report from Spanish outlet AS said that Liverpool are preparing to compete with Newcastle United in the race to sign Sevilla defender Loic Bade.

The French centre-back has emerged as a potential target for the Premier League clubs, with Sevilla valuing him at approximately £21 million.

Sevilla’s financial struggles, including a reported £70 million loss in the past year, have pressured them to sell players to comply with La Liga’s financial regulations. Bade is a key asset and is viewed as one of the players capable of generating significant revenue for the club.
