Liverpool have recently been associated with interest in Wolfsburg’s defender Maxence Lacroix.
The 23-year-old defender from Wolfsburg has reportedly caught their attention, with Liverpool eyeing a potential move for him in the January transfer window.
However, Florian Plettenberg clarified that Liverpool is not pursuing the French defender in January, leaving uncertainty as to whether they’ll explore other alternatives.
Lacroix has built a solid reputation as a defender in the Bundesliga and could have been a valuable addition to Liverpool’s squad. He possesses versatility, capable of playing both as a central defender and a full-back.
Given Joel Matip’s recent season-ending ACL injury, Liverpool has a need for a fitting replacement. Lacroix could have been an excellent choice, aiding in bolstering Liverpool’s defensive lineup.

Joining one of the world’s top clubs is an appealing prospect for any player, and Lacroix might be enticed by the chance to vie for major honors with Liverpool. There have been previous links between the player and Liverpool, and whether the Reds decide to pursue him at the season’s end remains to be seen.
Liverpool’s evident requirement for quality central defense and a full-back in the near future is widely known. The Bundesliga defender possesses the physicality and technical skills necessary to excel in English football, and under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance, he could evolve into a top-tier player for the club.
