Liverpool is aiming for a strong finish to the summer transfer window, building on their earlier acquisitions of Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike. The Reds are reportedly targeting Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, Parma's young center-back Geovanni Leoni, and Newcastle's Alexander Isak.
According to sources like Paul Joyce, David Ornstein, and Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool is actively pursuing Marc Guehi. The English international has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the club. With only a year left on his contract, Crystal Palace is expected to accept a deal worth around £35 million.
Liverpool is also reportedly in talks with Parma for 18-year-old Geovanni Leoni, who is eager to join Anfield. Despite some reports suggesting a loan back to Parma for the 2025/26 season, Romano insists that Leoni would immediately join Arne Slot's squad.
These potential defensive acquisitions come as Jarell Quansah was sold to Bayer Leverkusen, and Ibrahima Konate's contract renewal remains uncertain, with less than a year left on his current deal. Securing Guehi and Leoni would significantly bolster Liverpool's squad depth, essential for competing on multiple fronts.
Liverpool's attacking lineup has been impacted by the departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, as well as the unfortunate situation with Diogo Jota. This has left them with only Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Hugo Ekitike as senior forwards. They've reportedly renewed their interest in Newcastle's Alexander Isak after an initial bid was rejected.
Recent developments suggest a possible change in Newcastle's stance, with manager Eddie Howe seeking players committed to the club. Isak has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Newcastle, making Liverpool his preferred destination. It is anticipated that the Reds will be making another bid for the Swedish international.
