Liverpool 'weighing up January move for Aissa Mandi'

Liverpool are reportedly considering a January approach for Real Betis centre-back Aissa Mandi.

The Reds were linked with the 29-year-old during the summer, but the transfer window closed with the Algeria international still at Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Jurgen Klopp's side are expected to enter the winter market for a new central defender, having lost Virgil van Dijk to a serious knee injury, potentially for the remainder of the season.

According to Fichajes, Mandi is still viewed as an option for the Reds, who played out a 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Mandi, who has scored once in seven La Liga appearances this season, will be out of contract in June 2022.

Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar is allegedly also being considered by the English champions.
