View Liverpool summer 2026 transfer targets

Liverpool are weighing up a summer move for Nnamdi Collins as they continue to reshape their defensive options ahead of the new season.

The Eintracht Frankfurt centre back has been on the radar of several top clubs after a steady rise in the Bundesliga. Collins is known for his physical presence, pace and ability to defend aggressively in one v one situations, traits that make him well suited to the demands of the Premier League. Still young, he offers both immediate depth and long term potential.

Liverpool‘s recruitment team have been closely monitoring defensive targets, with a focus on adding players who can fit into a high line and cover space effectively. Collins ticks those boxes. His recovery speed and willingness to step into duels could make him a strong option in a system that requires defenders to be proactive rather than passive.

There is also a broader plan at play. Liverpool are looking to refresh parts of their squad, particularly in defence, where injuries and inconsistency have been an issue. Bringing in a player like Collins would add competition and help future proof the position.

While interest is firm, any deal is expected to develop later in the window. Liverpool are likely to assess outgoings and squad balance before pushing ahead, with July seen as the point where talks could begin to move more quickly.

Collins is believed to be open to a move to England, and the appeal of joining Liverpool is clear. Regular football, a high intensity style and the chance to compete at the top level all make it an attractive next step.
