This precarious situation is prompting the club to consider making a move in the transfer market.
According to a report from Absolut Fussbal, Liverpool is eyeing Borussia Dortmund right-back Julian Ryerson.
The 28-year-old Norwegian international joined Dortmund in 2023 after establishing himself at Union Berlin.
With impressive speed and already six assists this season, Ryerson fits the profile of the right-back Liverpool is looking for.
His playing style could perfectly complement the intensity of the Premier League and provide support for players like Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak.

However, the concern lies in his age, as Liverpool typically does not pursue players close to the age of 30.
Thus, any potential deal would need to be particularly favorable for the club to proceed with the transfer.
