Liverpool are continuing to add fresh talent to their ranks to bolster their chances of winning the Premier League and the Champions League this season.

Arne Slot will no doubt want to retain the title this term, and with the players he’s already brought in, such as Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, it’s clear that he means business.

Although over £200million has been spent on new arrivals thus far, due to the sheer number of sales they’ve made this season, Liverpool still have plenty of money to spend from their transfer kitty.

It’s a shame he’s eluding the big clubs in Serie A,” he wrote.

“On the one hand, the news makes me immensely happy, and on the other, it makes me a little angry.

“Let me explain – I’m happy that an Italian player is receiving praise from a major club like Liverpool, but I wish AC Milan or Inter, Juventus, or Napoli were competing for his transfer, not a foreign club.”

Looking at the additions that Slot and Richard Hughes have made to the Liverpool team this season, it’s clear that they’re mainly eyeing players with plenty of potential to fulfil.

Indeed, some players such as Wirtz are already at the top of their game, but since the German is still just 22 years old, there’s plenty of time for him to grow and become an even better player.

At the end of the day, it’s clear that Leoni would be joining Liverpool for a season to develop and fine-tune his skillset, which, at the age of 18, is arguably the perfect way to be integrated into a team.

Of course, only time will tell what the future has in store, but since Ben Jacobs reported that Liverpool were ‘close’ to agreeing personal terms with Leoni as a deal worth around £30million was agreed upon, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before he’s officially announced.
