Liverpool weigh Giovanni Leoni and Marc Guéhi as Arne Slot tightens the defence
Liverpool have opened talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guéhi.
They are also weighing a move for Parma centre half Giovanni Leoni.
Slot wants better defensive depth and sees Leoni as a long term fit.
The 18 year old impressed in Parma’s second half last season.
He made 17 appearances and attracted interest from Serie A clubs.
Inter were among the teams monitoring him this summer.
Parma appointed Cristian Chivu as coach last season.
The move would bolster Liverpool’s spine with youth and mobility.
As Jose would put it, structure is the spine of a team.
This is not a panic bid but a measured step.
It hints at the lost tempo of the Ferguson era.
City act with betrayal, while Liverpool seek balance through patience.
Meanwhile the transfer market hums and price tags bite.
The Leoni case will test Slot’s timing and Liverpool’s appetite.
TLDR
Liverpool are weighing a move for Giovanni Leoni alongside Marc Guéhi negotiations.
The Parma defender impressed in the second half of last season and has Serie A interest.
Price timing and Slot’s tactical plan will decide the outcome.
