Liverpool Assessing Center-Back Options with Leoni and Guehi on Radar

Liverpool is actively working to strengthen its central defensive options, with both Giovanni Leoni and Marc Guehi emerging as key targets in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. The club is reportedly looking to sign at least one center-back after the departure of Jarell Quansah and an injury to Joe Gomez.

Giovanni Leoni, an 18-year-old defender from Parma, is considered a top talent for the future. The young Italian, who was a breakthrough star in Serie A last season, has been on Liverpool's shortlist since July. While there has been no official bid yet, reports indicate Leoni would be open to a move to Anfield, with the club now "starting to think about signing him."

Meanwhile, talks are ongoing for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. The 25-year-old is in the final year of his contract and has shown no interest in signing a new deal with the Eagles, which could force their hand to sell rather than lose him on a free transfer next summer. Liverpool is reportedly advancing in talks for a deal worth around £35 million.

The club's strategy appears to be flexible, with sources suggesting that signing both players is a possibility, as they are not necessarily alternatives to each other. Guehi would offer a more immediate, experienced solution, while Leoni represents a long-term investment.
