Liverpool do not need another centre-half since Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are proving their worth alongside Van Dijk, according to Jamie Carragher.
Liverpool are one of the clubs linked to De Ligt from Ajax but Carragher feels it will be a waste of resources.
His words, “The form Matip’s been in, he’s been brilliant,”
“At one stage three months ago I was thinking, ‘We need to buy a centre-back.’
“You couldn’t trust [Dejan] Lovren or Gomez fitness-wise and Matip was the fourth choice and you’re thinking, ‘Is he good enough?’
“But I think you’d be mad now to sign one. Maybe if Lovren went, I don’t know his contract situation.
“He’s far too injury prone for me so if someone made a good offer and you could buy someone without breaking the bank [you should sell him], because you’ve got Gomez there who was outstanding at the start of the season, you give him one more chance as well.
“Unfortunately for him [Lovren] he gets a lot of injuries and you can’t afford to have players in your squad who get injured all the time.
“It’s just not good. In Matip and Gomez we’ve got two excellent partners for big Virg.”
