A decision will be made soon.
Last summer, Liverpool nearly signed centre-back Marc Guéhi, but the deal fell through. It’s still uncertain if they will seek a defender in January.
Details: Insider Ben Jacobs reports that Liverpool’s board will soon decide on adding a central defender during the winter transfer window.
Meanwhile, young centre-back Giovanni Leoni has successfully had surgery on his ACL. The club is not worried about his absence.
Additionally, leading up to the game against Chelsea, Arne Slot lost his main goalkeeper Alisson, who will be out longer than expected. On a positive note, Hugo Ekitike and Federico Chiesa have returned to training and are likely to be available for the team.
Reminder: The match against Chelsea is scheduled for Saturday, October 4, at Stamford Bridge, starting at 18:30 CET.
