bloomshorts Liverpool’s Summer Spending Spree Continues
Liverpool have emerged as the Premier League’s biggest spenders this summer, but their transfer activities are far from concluded. The club is reportedly aiming to shatter the English transfer record once more by securing the signature of Alexander Isak. Additionally, bolstering the defensive line with another centre-back is high on Arne Slot’s agenda.
Defensive Reinforcements on the Horizon
Following the confirmation of Giovanni Leoni’s signing, Liverpool’s strategy includes adding another centre-back to their squad. Marc Guehi has been identified as the primary target, with ongoing discussions with Crystal Palace. However, a deal remains elusive, and speculation suggests Liverpool might wait until 2026 to sign Guehi on a free transfer.
Strategic Patience or Immediate Action?
Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke hints at a potential delay in Guehi’s transfer, citing the player’s contentment at Crystal Palace and Liverpool’s willingness to bide their time. This strategic patience could see Guehi joining Liverpool without a transfer fee, a move that would undoubtedly be a coup for the Reds. However, the implications for Guehi’s England prospects and Liverpool’s immediate defensive needs add layers of complexity to this transfer saga.
