Liverpool is still planning to make at least one big signature before the end of the window, despite the fact that he has already spent almost £ 300 million this summer, a top defensive target for Arne Slot with Marc Guehi this summer
Liverpool will have further conversations with Crystal Palace about defender Marc Guehi after the two clubs have played each other in the Community Shield – with Chelsea still to make a new approach.
The Reds have identified the English international as a top defensive target while Arne Slot is looking for a long -term successor to Captain Virgil van Dijk, while coverage is also needed after the exit from Jarrell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen.
Liverpool has left that departure with only three recognized center-backs for the new season and end will want to ensure that his team is well filled to defend their Premier League crown.
Liverpool would be big fans of Guehi and want to accelerate conversations with Palace, but will do this after Sunday's Wembley collision between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners, according to the Daily Mail.
Guehi is a lot of demand after a fantastic season with Palace and former club Chelsea would be interested in bringing him back to Stamford Bridge.
But as it looks now, the blues have not made a bid for the defender, despite the loss of Levi Colwill to an ACL injury in the long term, the report says.
Enzo Maresca, however, is planning to sign a new defender and Leverkusen Center-Back Piero Hincapie is also on his list.
But Chelsea is providing the signing of the signing of Xavi Simons by Red Bull Leipzig for the time being, while they also want to get Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United over the line, which could give Liverpool the upper hand. It is said that Palace demands at least £ 45 million for a player who no longer has a contract next summer.
The side of Slot has already spent almost £ 300 million in the transfer window and still hunts up a money-spinning movement for Alexander Isak, where his club Newcastle rejects their recent £ 120 million offer.
The Reds have also punished a British transfer record movement of £ 116.5 million for Florian Wirtz and £ 79 million on Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt, but the club did not stop to move forward with plans to strengthen both ends of the field.
Their most important priority will be to secure the signature of Isak, but that movement is dressed in uncertainty while the player continues to train alone. When asked if he might have to sell the Sweden star this weekend, Baas Eddie Howe replied: “That is a decision that I will not make, that will be that other people make.
“We are concentrating on [next weekend’s Premier League opener against] Aston Villa. Everything, to a certain extent, from my perspective is not under my control, so it's not my focus. “
