According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has reached personal agreement with center -back Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace. Currently the negotiations between the two clubs are still taking place to close the transfer fee, expected to be about £ 35 million. The deal can be completed in the coming time.
Liverpool's summer transfer window is going on. After parting with many defenders like Quansah or Alexander-Arnold, the club is still seeking to strengthen the defense.
The young midfielder Jarell Quanusah joined Bayer Leverkusen for £ 35 million made coach Arne Slot only 3 experienced central defenders in the squad, Van Dijk, Konate and Joe Gomez.
Guehi, 25, is the top of Liverpool's summer and they seem to be about to own him for the same fee as the sale of Quansah. This player has just carried the Crystal Palace captain's armband that defeated Liverpool itself on the penalty shootout in the English Super Cup last weekend.
According to Romano, Slot's defense plan has not stopped. Liverpool is also close to signing a contract with Giovanni Leoni, Parma's 18 -year -old center -back, with an expected fee of about £ 30 million. This is considered a long -term investment for the defensive route.
If everything goes smoothly, the deal of Guehi and Leoni can close quickly, before Liverpool put all their efforts to other big goals at the end of the transfer period: recruiting Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
This is still an extremely exciting summer of Liverpool. They spent more than £ 300 million for stars like Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez, Frimpong but still did not want to stop.
