Marc Guehi is in line with the next major signing of Liverpool during a busy summer, and uncertainty around two of the centerbacks of the Reds means that he can be much needed
Liverpool's summer of expenditure does not yet show signs of end, but there is more than enough method behind the madness and the headlines.
Zoals gedetailleerd door Mirror Football op zaterdag, geloven Anfield-insiders nu dat de Reds nadeel zijn om Marc Guehi hun zevende nieuwe aankomst deze zomer te maken, in navolging van rechts-back Jeremie Frimpong, de extreem opwindende Florian Wirtz, Rapid Left-Back Milos Kerkez en doelman Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi en Freddie Woodman.
The signing of Guehi would push Liverpool's total summer expenses, including money specified for add-ons, to the £ 250 million Mark, but with holes in the team that must be filled and money of important expenses that have already been made or on the road, it is no surprise to see the champions that way.
Federico Chiesa was the only new face that was added to the team during the first summer of Arne Slot in Anfield last year, with the Italian winger the only new player who signed Liverpool in the last three transfer penters if you considers the deferred deal for Mhamardashvili.
That lack of transfer campaign turned out to be exactly what was needed for Slot and the Reds, where the Dutch coach was able to assess what he had at his disposal and accompanied his side to a dominant league title. A year on the team must be refreshed and Liverpool acts accordingly.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has become a member of Real Madrid, and so Frimpong comes in. Left-Back was an area of ​​weakness for Liverpool in the past season, and so here is Kerkez. Caoimhin Kelleher went to Brentford for £ 18 million, mainly because he knew that Mhamardashvili would come. And further movements in the goalkeeper department have left the Reds to young people and struggle with their home -grown quota, so here are Pecsi and Woodman.
The deal for Wirtz was one that you just can't leave if the player wants it and you have the chance to do it. Moreover, Liverpool sometimes lacked their output of attacking midfield positions in the past year, and with people like Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez who are planned for probably departure, the need for German talent will be greater.
But back to Guehi, and the situations that unfold the need of Liverpool to a reliable center-back all the more urgent.
Jarell Quansah is planned to have his medical with Bayer Leverkusen after the final of the European Championship of England under 21 against Germany, with reports in Europe that claim that it will take place on Monday and the Reds will be around £ 35 million banking for the sales and 'pure profit' sale in PSR conditions.
In the meantime, Ibrahima Konate has only had a year over his Reds deal and gives serious 'Alexander-Arnold Vibes' as Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid Circle. The latest reports suggest that he is not satisfied with what has been offered to him so far, and at the moment a farewell to the ways seem probably seem like next summer.
So with Quansah Out and Konate almost from the need for a new center-back is clear, and Guehi seems to be the player where the Reds are arranged. There are doubts around him, and in particular his air power, but this is a FA Cup -winning captain and regular starter for England, who takes the box of his own board.
Guehi will be 25 in two weeks, will have a year over his deal and is ready for the next challenge in his career, and at the moment there are still a few exciting places to play your football than Liverpool.
The Reds established the headlines on the field last season and will finish this summer. At the moment you can't really look away.
