Baretto in his bubble:

Sources suggest Ricciardo would be Red Bull’s favoured driver to replace Perez if required either mid-season or at the end of 2024 campaign, with Lawson being drafted in to replace the Australian at AlphaTauri.

Are we supposed to take an unverified, non-attributed statement as serious? This is gossip journalism, deserves to be ignored. My personal sources suggest that Red Bull does not fogou any driver until one of the 4 seats needs to be discussed.
