Liverpool is the brightest candidate to sign a contract with Marc Guhi from Crystal Palace, but they have a quality plan B without this defender.
Marc Guehi is entering the final year in a contract with Crystal Palace, and the president of the eagle, Steve Parish, admitted that the possibility he will leave is very high, unless they can persuade the center -back to sign a new contract.
Crystal Palace is looking to sell English players for about 40 million pounds, while Liverpool wants to recruit at a lower price, considering the situation of his contract. With Parish quite clearly about the situation of the British defender, it seems that Guehi will leave this summer, but if he doesn't come to Anfield, the Red Brigade has identified another goal in Serie A.
Liverpool recruits young star Giovanni Leoni without Marc Guhi. |
Parma's 18 -year -old center -back Giovanni Leoni has attracted Liverpool's attention, although only 33 appearances for the first team to date. Sky Sport Germany's Florian Plettenberg reported that Liverpool actually started negotiating with Parma when the summer market was about to close.
This 1m93 tall defender played for three clubs in his career, starting from Padova in Serie C, where he debuted when he was 16 years old. Sampdoria signed a loan contract with him in February 2024, before he moved to Parma last summer.
Last season, Leoni had 17 appearances in Serie A when Parma fought to relegation and finally ranked 16th in the top tournament of Italian football. If you arrive at Anfield, Giovanni Leoni will be prepared for the duo Ibrahima Konate and Van Dijk.
Liverpool was very busy on the transfer market this summer when signing a contract with Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, but it seems they will not stop there. In addition to the position of the port center, the port city team also cares that the striker Isak of Newcaste.
