Liverpool can find others
There is no doubt that Kim Min Jae would have been a fine signing for Liverpool. They do need a bit of added strength at the back and the Napoli man has proven his class.
However, there’ll be more options out there. Liverpool remain a massive club even without Champions League football and there’ll be plenty of players wanting to sign.
Min Jae would have been nice, but other options are there.
This is a big summer for Liverpool. New midfielders are needed but they’ve also lacked defensive prowess at times.
Making sure a top centre-half like Min Jae arrives, then, will be vital for the Reds.
