Liverpool reportedly ‘worked’ on a deal to sign Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, according to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Despite winning the Premier League title in the past term, the Reds made their team great changes to their team for the following season. Jarell Quansah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Luis Diaz and Darwin Núñez are allowed to leave.
Alexander-Arnold ran his contract on Anfield before he came to Real Madrid, while Diaz left to start a new journey in Bayern Munich. Liverpool has purchased Giorgi Mamardashvili, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike by splashing around £ 300 million.
However, it seems that the Merseyside club was not done in this window, because they are still willing to break the British transfer record to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
In addition, on X” Romano Says that Liverpool wants to revise the Center-Back position, because Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are the only available options that Arne Slot currently has for this function.
Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace and Leoni are the two priority goals for Liverpool, and the side of Slot ‘worked’ on a deal to sign both in recent weeks.
Leoni to Liverpool
Liverpool sees Guehi as a big chance because his existing deal will be next summer and can be an option to help the club immediately, because he is a leading player. On the other hand, Liverpool Leoni is strong for the future, so they want to lure him to Anfield this summer.
Romano wrote:
“Liverpool does not necessarily see Giovanni Leoni and Marc Guehi as alternative options. LFC that works on both deals for weeks, because Leoni is highly rated for the future and Guehi has seen as a big chance: both negotiations are on.”
In another message XRomano says that Leoni is ‘sharp’ on a move to Liverpool. The 18-year-old is appreciated by around £ 16 million Transfer market And has left for four years in his current contract. That is why Parma will probably demand a considerable amount to make him leave.
Leoni is a 6ft 5 long colossal and is a modern Ball-Play Center-back. He played as a rotation option for Parma in the past term and showed a glimpse of his qualities when he had the opportunity to play.
That is why he can be a smart acquisition for Liverpool if they can ultimately secure his service before the end of this transfer window.
