Liverpool are reportedly gearing up to table a new offer for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, with current assessments suggesting they remain “not totally convinced” by Ibrahima Konate. As the transfer window approaches its closure in under a month, the Reds are determined to bolster their squad with additional acquisitions.
Rumours have swirled around Liverpool’s interest in Newcastle United’s striker, Alexander Isak, who has expressed his desire to swap St James’ Park for Anfield. The club’s initial £110 million proposal was swiftly rebuffed by the Magpies, leaving the Merseyside giants evaluating their next steps. While indications suggest Liverpool are hesitant to place another bid, insiders hint at a potential offer if Newcastle signals a willingness to negotiate before the window’s deadline.
Beyond bolstering their attack, Liverpool are prioritising shoring up the backline with Guehi, the Palace centre-back, garnering admiration from the Anfield hierarchy over recent seasons. In the quest for robust competition for Virgil van Dijk and Konate, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano shared in his GiveMeSport newsletter that Liverpool “will decide on [a] defender soon.”
Mick Brown, a former Manchester United and Tottenham scout, revealed to Football Insider that Liverpool’s faith in Konate is wavering, prompting their pursuit of Guehi. “The Reds regard Guehi as just as crucial as Isak for fortifying their squad this summer,” he confidently added.
Liverpool’s transfer ambitions stretch beyond these targets, suggesting a dynamic close to the summer dealings. Expect more strategic manoeuvres as the Reds target both title conquests and European glories in the forthcoming campaign.
