Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Giovanni Leoni has been ruled out for up to a year in a torn ACL.
Liverpool is currently trying to introduce a quality central defender, and will step up their efforts to sign Marc Guech during the January transfer period, according to TeamTalk. They also tried to sign the 25 year old during the summer window. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The player will become free agents in the summer, and Crystal Palace could be pressured to sanction his departure in January. It would allow them to retrieve some money from his departure. They wouldn’t want to lose his quality player with free transfers.
Liverpool needs Mark Guehe
Liverpool, on the other hand, needs more depth in their defensive units, ideally signing trustworthy performers in the Premier League. He was able to make an immediate impact at the Premier League club.
The opportunity to participate in the champions is attractive to him, and he aims to fight for the trophy with them. Liverpool is aiming to win the league title and the UEFA Champions League this season. They need to add more depth to their team. They can’t expect three trusted defenders to survive the season with just their free time. Plus, Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate have unreliable fitness records.
Can Liverpool sign guehi?
Liverpool agreed to a deal to sign Guehi during the summer transfer period, but the move fell apart as Crystal Palace failed to find a replacement. It would be interesting to see if they are ready to let him leave in January.
Liverpool has started the season well and must try to close the gaps in their teams in January if they want to maintain their current form and win major trophies.
