Liverpool closing in on agreement to sign World Cup winner | OneFootball

Liverpool are closing in on signing a world champion with an agreement on personal terms already in place.

The club's sporting director, Richard Hughes, has done an excellent job this summer. But Liverpool are far from done. No, they are just about to end the summer transfer window with another bang.

The Reds caused mayhem earlier on in the window with a flurry of new signings that saw Florian Wirtz arrive for a club record fee, followed by Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.

In between, around the middle of the window there was also the arrival of Hugo Ekitike, who looks to be a gem.

And now they are set to be followed by three more arrivals, most notably Alexander Isak, who the Reds are still very keen on.

He is not the only player sought after and who Liverpool are closing in on.

Hughes also needs to address the centre-back department. At this moment in time, Arne Slot has just two available centre-backs with Joe Gomez out injured.

In the event that either Ibrahima Konate or Virgil van Dijk get injured or suspended, he'd have to use Wataru Endo or Ryan Gravenberch as a back-up option.

That's not a tenable position to be in. Which is why Richard Hughes is on the case to change that. Liverpool are working on signing Giovanni Leoni, who will be a replacement for Jarell Quansah.

But they are also closing in on a deal for Marc Guehi.
