Liverpool’s concerns at the right-back position are no secret. Conor Bradley is still facing an extended period off the pitch after knee surgery, and versatile Joe Gomez is also injured. For coach Andoni Iraola, Jeremie Frimpong is currently the only option, although the former Leverkusen player has yet to convince. Ronald Araujo was therefore tried in that role in the 2-0 win over Ipswich Town. It went well, but is not a good solution when the games come in a row throughout the autumn. Now one of Real Madrid’s great legends is being linked to Anfield.
Dani Carvajal did not get a contract extension after a long and faithful service with 450 games at Real Madrid and a bunch of titles. The veteran only played a small role for Los Blancos last season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in October 2024 and making a comeback in the summer of 2025. Now the 34-year-old is a free agent – and is in practice available for Liverpool.

In the past week, the Spaniard has been linked with the Merseyside club.
Carvajal was the topic of discussion on TNT Sports, discussing Liverpool’s injury problems.
“I think there is talk of Liverpool, Carvajal and a right-back. So yes, I would say Liverpool,” said former England international Joleon Lescott about where he thought Carvajal will end up. The Atheltic’s David Ornstein was in the studio and did not contradict Lescott.
