Liverpool positioned to SIGN star as deal is confirmed | OneFootball

Liverpool are now in line to sign themselves a new star. This comes after a rival struck a different deal.

Liverpool are in need of a new centre-back. They sold Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, after all, as they received a hefty sum for a player who was arguably fourth-choice last season.

But they haven't replaced Quansah, leaving them light at the back. It's awfully similar to 2020 when Liverpool went into a season with only three centre-backs.

That, though, was a complete disaster. Liverpool struggled badly with injuries and ended up without any fit senior defenders. Surely they're not going to do that again?

Well, reports suggest they're not going to. Liverpool do want to sign a new centre-back and have a few linked with them.

One is Marc Guehi, who is undoubtedly the star signing if the Reds can make it happen. But there is another top option in Giovanni Leoni.

, too, if Liverpool bring him in this summer. He's only 18 and would eventually qualify.
