Liverpool is said to be planning to bring defensive coverage this summer while they are preparing to start their Premier League title defense.
On Monday, the side of Arne Slot returned to Anfield for the first time since the death of Diogo Jota and played a few friendly matches against Laliga Side Athletic Bilbao.
The preparation of two separate teams on the same day revealed the lack of depth in the heart of the defense, with Andy Robertson and Academy product Trey Nyoni taking place in the position in the position for the first match.
With Virgil van Dijk not available due to illness and Joe Gomez still an injury that ran during the club's tour, Liverpool were forced to use Wataru Endo next to their only available senior center in Ibrahima Konate.
This, combined with the move from Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen last month, emphasized the needs of the Reds for defensive reinforcements and the club is said to be hard at work to identify potential options.
Earlier this summer, Mail Sport revealed that Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is on the radar of the club.
The International of England has less than 12 months over his current deal in Selhurst Park and reports suggest that he would be enthusiastic in moving to Merseyside.
Newcastle repeatedly insisted on signing Guehi last summer when a long -term saga unfolded around his future before he finally stayed in Palace.
According to a report from the Times, the club also monitors Giovanni Leoni.
At the age of only 18 -Leoni already orders a starting place for the Serie A club and earned praise for his performances last season, because the club succeeded in preventing relegation back in the top flight in their first season.
In the meantime, Van Conor Bradley is expected to be missed on Sunday against Crystal Palace's community shield due to injury.
Bradley did not play in the friendly matches on Monday after a knock in the training and is now in a race to be fit before the start of the Premier League season.
Liverpool will receive their campaign next Friday, because they welcome the Bournemouth of Andoni Iraola in Anfield.
