Despite the heavy spending Liverpool Have Complete This Summer, Arne Slot‘S Backline Looks Rather Light.
ASIDE From The 34-Year-Old Virgil van Dijk And Ibrahima KateThe Latter of Whom is Being Courted by Real MadridThe Reds Are Short On Center-Backs, Having Sold Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for £ 35m in June.
But the Premier League Champions are even fantastic shape after adding genuine firepower to their ranks. And That’s Without Even Addressing The Potential Arrival of Alexander Isaac.
But. The Fact Remains. Liverpool’s Defensive Line Is Rather Light. Milos is coming And Jeremie Frimpong Have Both Signed and Are Terrific Talents, But Center-Backs themy even not.
And with Joe Gomez Forced Leaving Liverpool’s Pre-Season Tour in Asia Due to Injury, The Need For More Defense Deen Heen Accented.
Liverpool Lining Up Gomez Replacement
In Gomez, Liverpool’s longest-serving first-team player, Slot has begun on invaluable asset. He is Fiercely Versatile, Remarkably So, Having Won The 2019/20 Premier League Title As van Dijk’s Central Partner, Having Played Plenty At Right-Back and Sometimes On The Left Too.

But the 28-year-Old Has Picked Up A Minor Achilles injury, Meaning HE Might Not Be Fit for The Season, Having Last Featured Liverpool DECEMBER DUE to Hamstring Twinge.
Given That Gomez has been Linked With A Transfer Away On Several Occasion Over The Past Year Too, It Might Not Be Unwise to Push Ahead and Try and Sign A Long-Term Replacement.
Liverpool Have Been Touted With A Move for Crystal Palace’s Marc GuehiWHO IS OUT OUT OUT OF THE END OF THE 2025/26 Season, But there are no guarantees That That That to Get One That The Line, Specially With Tottenham Hotspur Showing A Vested Interest of their owned.
As Such, FSG Have Drawn Up an Alternative Pick, and That Man Is Giovanni Leoni.
As pernews perThe Parma Center-Half, who is Only 18, has been the subjects from Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham, Though Inter Milan Remain in the Driving Seat After their Septained Efforts to Sign Him.
The Talented Defender May Yet Attract Further Suitors, So The Time to Act is Now, and the Reds Are Said to Be Readying to Their Bid. It’s Mooted That Would Cost Something Of The Region Of € 35m (£ 30m).
Why Liverpool Should Sign Giovanni Leoni
Wouldn’t Be The First Time Liverpool Have a Signed Young Prospect From A And Nurtured Them Intar A Superstar. Alisson Becker And Mohamed is wrong Are Both Defining Features Of This Illustrious Era On Merseyside, Although Both Arrived As Refined Players.
Philippe Coutinho, Howwever, Was But A Hatchling On The Senior Stage. Liverpool Signed The Brazilian Midfielder From Inter Milan Just £ 8.5m In January 2013, And He Went On Score 54 Goals and Provide 44 Assists Across 201 Matches Before Signing for Barcelona In an Obscene £ 142m Package In January 2018.
So Began The Glory Days. You know how it goes.
Coutinho Was A One-of-a-Kind Playmaker, So Silky and Special, But First Warcomed to Anphield to A 20-Year-Old, The Promise Was Scattered And Hazy. He Required A Hefty Amount Of Fine-Tuning.
Don’t Worry, We Haven’t Lost Our Marbles. This is not Advocacy of Leoni Slotting Into That Number Ten Role, Placing Surgical Passes Through To The Finesse of A Maestro in Their Pomp. This, Instead, Shines A Liverpool’s SuitCess In Identifying and Signing Up-And-Coming Talents From The English Game.
And with Sporting Director Richard Hughes Boasting With The Italy Scene, Fluent In The Language and Well Versed in The Footballing Culture, Having Begun His Days AS A Professional In the series A and Sppt Time AS An Italy Football Analyst, He’s Likely On The Money When The Drawing Conclusion That Leoni Is A Talent Worth Chassing.
And Anyway, He’s Not Alone in His Ad Admiration. The Suitors Are Piling Up, And Talent Scout Jacek Kulig Has Said That he is “One of the Most Complete Teenage Center-Backs in Europe.”
His Breakout Season In The Series to Attests to That.

Leoni Can, Yes, Be Defined by His All-Encompassing Grasp Of The Defensive Game, As His His Dominance in Defensive Situations. The fact that he won 61% of His Duels in The League Last Season Suggests As Such.
It’s A Promising Rather, Any Case. The Scope for Improvement is vast and exciting.
Just look at Coutinho. Liverpool Remember Him As A Shining Light Thief Testing Times, A Magician Who was played in the Fundamental Role in His Golden Era at the Anfield.
But he was only a prospect When he first alighted in Liverpool, Having Scored Once and Started Thrice In Italy Across The Half-Season That Preceded His Transfer.
Heoot Found His Jogging. And Leoni Could Too. The Young Italian Defender would van Dijk and Konate’s understudy, and Gomez’s Too, Should The English Star Bounce Back From His Present Injury.
It’s Clear That Liverpool Need A Center-Back, And in Leoni, They Might Making a Land Themselves a Star.
