Liverpool fans, well at least a few of them got some good news today after a disastrous season, Glen Johnson finally left the club. The 30-year-old, who has often felt the ire of the Liverpool fans on social media, especially did not renew his contract with the club and left on a free. He would probably find a few suitors but that has left Liverpool with even more problems as they not only lost out on an experienced campaigner, they also lost the one right back that they have played consistently over the past few seasons.
Emre Can did deputise as the right back for most of the second half of the season but that is not his best position and Liverpool will have to work hard and fast to get a good right back for next season. We try to list out 3 right backs that Liverpool could target next season, which could be extremely important for Rodgers’ future at the club.
1. Micah Richards
The English centre back and right back was at one time expected to become one of the best defenders in the English game, sadly things do not go as planned and he was loaned out from Manchester City to Fiorentina. He hasn’t done the best at the Italian club either and would be returning back to the Premier League, with his contract possibly not being renewed, he could join up Liverpool as part of the free agent brigade. Rodgers has always admired Richards and the Liverpool manager could help get the defenders career back on track.
