Arne Slot is apparently eager to bolster his defence with a player he knows from his former club Feyenoord as Liverpool have huge ambitions for the summer.
In order to provide Andy Robertson with additional competition at left-back and to permanently replace Joel Matip at center-back, the coach is eager to sign a new center-back.

David Hancko, a quality player for Feyenoord who can play both positions, is of interest to Liverpool. Slot’s move to Anfield has improved their chances of signing him.
Indeed, according to a recent story, Slot has now ordered the Reds to get back together.
Slot started Hancko in 100% of Feyenoord’s league matches this season and the pair still have an excellent relationship.
He made 48 appearances in all competitions for the Dutch giants in 2023/24, scoring seven goals and helping his team to 22 clean sheets.
Hancko’s excellent form with Feyenoord saw him rewarded with a spot in Slovakia’s Euro 2024 squad and he played the full 90 minutes in his side’s fantastic 1-0 win over Belgium on Monday.
The 26-year-old played as a left-back and dealt with Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku brilliantly – limiting him to few chances and putting in a few important tackles on the by-line.
Hancko is fully focused on the Euros for now but reports suggest Liverpool and Leicester City are weighing up moves for him.

The defender is under contract until 2028 and Feyenoord will reportedly demand €35m (approx. £29.5m) for his signature.
The report states that “talks have already begun” between Liverpool, Leicester, and Atletico over a possible transfer; the talks are expected to heat up after Slovakia’s Euro campaign concludes. The challenge from Leicester is deemed “significant” as the Foxes aim to build a squad capable of staying and flourishing in the Premier League following promotion. Hancko could replace star Conor Coady, who is linked to leaving the team, and compete with Wout Faes and Jannik Vestegaard for a starting spot. Leicester has not yet brought in a replacement for Enzo Maresca, with Graham Potter currently the front-runner to take over at the King Power. The Foxes may need to wait for their new boss’s approval before making a bid for Hancko, and they’re looking to finalise
