Opta Profile: Marc Guehi - the next part of Liverpool's spending spree?

The new Premier League season is underway and club’s are looking to finalise any deals for new signings.

Manchester United have spent big on new forwards and have their sights on PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma – although they have ended their pursuit of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. They will need to make some sales with Jadon Sancho being targeted by Besiktas and Roma, Antony wanted by Benfica and Chelsea interested in Alejandro Garnacho.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have signed teenage defender Giovanni Leoni as they hope to bolster their defence. The club also remain in talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi and the London side may want to cash in before his contract expires next summer. The Reds still hold an interest in Alexander Isak, who is trying to force a move away from Newcastle, but they will need to spend big money to secure him. And there is now the possibility that Federico Chiesa stays at the club after his match-winning cameo against Bournemouth.

Kompany hails Coman's impact

Coman's departure from Bayern comes two weeks after the German champion signed Luis Diaz from Liverpool, intensifying Coman's competition for places. He got a fond farewell from Bayern coach Vincent Kompany after they won the Bundesliga together last season.

"When a player as successful as him leaves the club, it's always a bit emotional," Kompany said earlier Friday. "You have to have understanding for his position in this situation and what he'd like. For me, what's important now is that we look forward and that we show a lot of respect for Kingsley Coman, for what he's done for this club."

Chiesa could stay at Liverpool

Federico Chiesa had been expected to move back to Serie A this summer but could now stay at Liverpool after his late cameo to win the match against Bournemouth last night.

“I’m very happy at Liverpool,” he said after the game. “I will speak to the club but I wanna stay here and fight to win many trophies.”

Arne Slot said: “When we needed him, he delivered. And that is always positive for your future at a club”.
