Liverpool is looking to improve their defensive forces with the signatures of Mark Guech and Giovanni Leoni.
Liverpool has extensively linked to both players and Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that they are working to sign two players for a few weeks. It will be interesting to see if they can get two deals across the line.
Liverpool needs to be improved defensively
They look defensively vulnerable for the past 12 months and need a quality advocate. Guehi will close his contract next summer, which is a fitting time for him to move on. Crystal Palace will need to sell him unless he wants to lose him on a free transfer next year.
Guehi has proven himself in Crystal Palace and the Premier League, and this is a time when he deserves to take on a new challenge. He helped the Eagles win the FA Cup and Community Shield. He now wants to fight for the major trophies, and Liverpool can provide him with that platform.
Meanwhile, Leoni is outstanding for Parma, with the 18-year-old receiving high praise throughout Europe. He has the tools to develop into a top-class player. Moving to Liverpool will unlock his true potential.
Participating in one of the world’s largest clubs is extremely exciting for an 18-year-old. They have been doing well over the years to groom talented young players, and Liverpool has been able to help Leoni meet his potential.
Liverpool needs Mark Guech and Giovanni Leoni
Ibrahima Konate will be able to transfer the club for free next summer, and Joe Gomez is struggling with persistent injuries. Signing some central defenders is a wise decision. Club captain Virgil Vandick will also enter the Twilight stage of his career.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will be able to agree to a deal with Crystal Palace and Palma in the coming weeks.
