Reporter: Liverpool pays attention to Brentford s defensive core Collins, but it is difficult to sign him

Hupu, August 4th, According to reporter SamCohen, Liverpool is closely monitoring the situation of Brentford central defender Nathan Collins.

It is reported that Liverpool is closely monitoring the situation of Brentford defender Nathan Collins, the 24-year-old is one of several centre-backs Liverpool has followed before the start of the new season. However, the possibility of a transfer at this stage seems unlikely, and Brentford is unwilling to sell the Irish international this summer.

Since joining the Wolves with a transfer fee of £23 million in 2023, Collins' performance at the Bees has been impressive, and he has also established himself as a key figure in the Brentford defence. After the team captain Nolgao left the team to join Arsenal this summer, the Irish international was also officially appointed as the captain of Brentford this summer. The Bees are full of confidence in the player's development. His ability, command and calm character have been verified by the Premier League, which has also attracted the attention of Liverpool's recruitment team. The Reds are exploring the option to strengthen the defense in the next few months.

Although Collins is admired within Anfield, whether a transfer will occur is still tentative, and the Reds have not taken any measures yet. As far as Brentford is concerned, they have no conversations around selling Collins, and they are understood to see Collins as an important part of the program under the new head coach.

The possibility of a deal this summer is slim as he has four years left on his contract and the players show no signs of seeking a transfer. People familiar with the situation describe their current position as clear, Collins is not a seller.

He made 33 appearances for Brentford in various events last season and earned praise for his aerial confrontation, position awareness and leadership in the backline.
