Liverpool Pursue Double Defensive Deal For Marc Guehi And Giovanni Leoni

Liverpool are trying to sign both Marc Guehi and Giovanni Leoni. The club believes both players can strengthen their defense for the future, not just one.

WHAT HAPPENED

Liverpool are very interested in Giovanni Leoni, who is only 18. He played well in Italy’s Serie A and for the Italy U21 team. Reports say Leoni could be sold by Parma for about €30 million. Liverpool are also talking with Crystal Palace about their captain, Marc Guehi. According to a report, Guehi would be ready to play immediately if they reach a deal.

WHY LIVERPOOL WANT BOTH

Leoni is young and talented but needs to improve; he can learn from older players. Guehi already knows how to play in the Premier League and would be able to help now. By getting both players, Liverpool would be planning for now and the future.

THE BIGGER PICTURE THIS SEASON

Liverpool want to be at the top of the Premier League and improve in European competitions. After defensive problems last season, Guehi could help improve things right away. Leoni only played 17 league matches for Parma last year, but he looked like a future star while doing so.

WHAT NEXT ON FIXTURES AND TIMELINES

Liverpool are very busy in August, with big games coming quickly. The season will be tough to manage if they do not add a new defender soon. Leoni seems likely to join because Parma are hoping to negotiate a sale. Crystal Palace have the power in their talks, so Guehi may be more difficult to sign now. If not, Liverpool will likely try again in January.
