Liverpool is still working on the transfer market and can add two new defenders to the Arne Slot team before the month is over with a legendary figure in football that one deal approves
Iconic Italian manager Arrigo Sacchi has given his seal of approval to the relocation of Liverpool for Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. The 79-year-old tipped the teenage star to continue his rise when he completes a transfer to Anfield and has tipped him to become the future of their national team.
Mirror Football reported on Tuesday that the Reds Leoni and Crystal Palace Captain Marc Guehi want to sign to strengthen their defense. The 18-year-old is expected to cost around £ 35 million, even though he is a newcomer to the first team of Foootball.
Liverpool has lately aimed at a young defender, because they try to have a smooth succession in their backline, such as Virgil van Dijk in his thirty. Lenny Yoro, Jorrel Hato and Dean Huijsen are all previously linked to the club.
Tower -high defender Leoni now seems to be that figure and is highly regarded by one of the most praised managers in football history in Sacchi. And the experienced coach caused an overwhelming reduction in the talents of the player.
Sacchi, who is frustrated not to see top -Italian side, makes a movement for Leoni, believes that the young defender will be a success for Liverpool and Italy. The legendary AC Milan boss is not worried about the lack of the young person's first team football.
“We will see if the deal will take place, but at least I would say that the Reds would make a great move by signing this young man, which I followed with interest and curiosity in the second half of last season,” Sacchi wrote in Gazzetta Dello Sport.
“I am convinced that he will be the Lynchpin of the Azzurri defense for a long time.
“Some people, with regard to a possible transfer to Liverpool, object that this young man has only made 17 Serie A appearances so far. Are those few not? No, I answer. Not few, because Leoni has shown the qualities that are needed to go far on those occasions.
“If someone is good, if someone has his head in the right place, it is immediately clear. A person can have 200 Serie A games under his belts and still do not have the qualities that Leoni has shown as an adult in his first season. Talent is not age.
“Let us also give him the chance to make mistakes. At eighteen some mistakes are expected and they can be forgiven. And at least Leoni will not make much. He is a tough guy who has already learned the fundamental lesson, keeps your head down and work hard.”
