"Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool have agreed a transfer deal to sign Austria Wien wonderkid central defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe for this summer. The highly-rated 17-year-old looks to be on his way to Anfield for next season, with Romano's trademark here we go usually meaning this can be considered a done deal, even if it's not yet been officially announced by the clubs."
"Of course, it might be some time before we see Nduke playing regularly in Arne Slot's first-team, as he's still young and learning the game. The Austrian youth international has shown a lot of potential, though, so a move to Liverpool to link up with world class players and coaches could be great for his development. Even if Nduke doesn't go immediately into Liverpool's first-team, he's at a club which has tended to give young players a decent amount of opportunities to grow."
An agreement is in place for Liverpool to sign 17-year-old Austria Wien centre back Ifeanyi Ndukwe, valid from July 2026. Austria Wien accepted the proposal and Ndukwe has agreed to join Liverpool's project. The player is regarded as a huge talent and is an Austrian youth international. Immediate regular first-team action is unlikely because of his age and need for development. Liverpool offers a pathway for young players and access to experienced coaches and teammates, which should aid his growth. The signing also helps address defensive depth needs and represents a long-term investment in a promising centre back.
