Liverpool is facing challenges at right-back this season, with Ronald Araujo currently filling the role after injuries to other players. Conor Bradley sustained a serious injury in January that is expected to keep him sidelined for almost a year, while Jeremie Frimpong has not been able to secure the position after losing it last season to Dominik Szoboszlai. With Araujo, a natural central defender, stepping in as the starter, Frimpong's future at the club seems uncertain.

Liverpool is reportedly considering a move for Givairo Read, a 20-year-old defender from Feyenoord, in January. According to TEAMtalk, Read has made a strong impression, recording five assists in his first seven Eredivisie matches this season, attracting attention from several clubs including Manchester City and Arsenal.
Previously, Read was a target for clubs such as Nottingham Forest and Everton during the summer, but a transfer did not occur. Liverpool has long admired the young talent, and their pressing need for a right-back could lead to accelerated interest in him this winter.
FootballTransfers currently values Read at approximately €27.5 million (£23.5 million), though the report does not specify how much the Reds may need to offer. A significant investment could be justified to resolve their ongoing issues at right-back. However, Liverpool will face competition from other Premier League clubs interested in Read, although a potential move to Anfield might present a clearer pathway for him to secure a first-team position.
