Liverpool are preparing for a major summer transfer window under new manager Arne Slot.

With big changes expected in the squad, one of the key positions under focus is right-back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future remains uncertain, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in signing him.

If he leaves, Liverpool will need to find a replacement.

Conor Bradley has shown promise, but the Reds might look to bring in competition for him.

Jeremie Frimpong has been a name linked for some time, but now another right-back has emerged as a potential target.

The player is performing well in La Liga and is attracting interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Which Romanian right-back is Liverpool interested in?

According to Romanian outlet Pro Sport, Liverpool have “entered the race” to sign Rayo Vallecano man Andrei Ratiu.

The 26-year-old is also being monitored by Barcelona and Real Madrid, with Villarreal still holding 50% of his rights.

The report describes Ratiu as being in “good form” and suggests that he has a chance for a “super transfer” this summer.

Any club looking to sign him will have to pay his £21m release clause.

With Alexander-Arnold’s departure looking likely, Liverpool will be linked to multiple right-backs in the coming months.

But as Pro Sport points out, Ratiu would be “a step up” from his current club and could be an interesting option.

Liverpool now have a decision to make.

Will they go all-in on Bradley, or will they bring in competition?

Ratiu is available, but it remains to be seen if the Reds will make a serious move.
