Liverpool are on the verge of securing Barcelona defender Ronald Araújo on a loan deal, with captain Virgil van Dijk ready to welcome him to Anfield. The move is expected to bolster manager Andoni Iraola's defensive options, especially with Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni currently sidelined.
Van Dijk, who played nearly an hour in Liverpool's 3-2 pre-season defeat to Monaco, confirmed his support for any new players joining the club. He also spoke positively about new £50m arrival Jérémy Jacquet, who is recovering from an injury-hit spell and is hoped to return to the pitch soon.
The club is also looking to strengthen its attacking line, with Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola reportedly of interest. Van Dijk indicated that any quality additions before the September 1 transfer deadline would be welcomed.
Reflecting on the team's transition after the departure of Arne Slot, Van Dijk confirmed regular contact with new head coach Iraola, offering his full support for the upcoming season.
