Liverpool Lock In ‘Super-Talented’ 18-Year-Old Giovanni Leoni in Near-Done Deal.

Liverpool is executing a major defensive overhaul, with reports confirming the club has reached verbal agreements for two key centre-back targets: rising star Giovanni Leoni and established Premier League defender Marc Guehi. This two-pronged approach signals a clear statement of intent from the club to solidify its backline for both the present and the future.

The club has secured a full verbal agreement with 18-year-old Italian wonderkid Giovanni Leoni from Parma. Described as a “super-talented” prospect, Leoni is reportedly pushing for an immediate move to Anfield, with negotiations between the two clubs now at an advanced stage.

Simultaneously, Liverpool has also finalized a verbal agreement with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi. This move fulfills the club’s strategy of signing one experienced defender alongside a young talent. The double swoop, if completed before Deadline Day, would provide manager Arne Slot with significant depth and a potent combination of youthful potential and proven quality in central defense.
