The Spaniard has made his mind up.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola reportedly wants defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe to remain on loan at Levante UD for the entirety of the 2026-27 season.

Writer Zak Anderton argues that keeping the Austrian defender at Levante will provide regular game time, which serves Liverpool better than having him sit on the bench as cover for senior center-backs.
