Marc Guehi is the latest player linked with a move to Arne Slot’s team, but it isn’t the Englishman who Liverpool are set to go toe-to-toe with their Premier League rivals for this summer.
Most of the rumours that seem to be cropping up are related to their defensive line, and at the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what Slot’s back four could look like on the opening day of the Premier League season.
“There have been direct conversations between Liverpool and Hato over joining the Premier League champions this summer, and those talks are taking place with the knowledge of Ajax, who are open to selling the player,” he said on The Transfers Podcast.

“I think top European clubs missed an opportunity last summer when Ajax were struggling both on the field and financially, where Hato could have been picked up on a far cheaper deal, potentially with a loan back to Ajax, but nobody took that opportunity.
“Now we have a situation where Liverpool are looking at the player, with Arsenal and Chelsea also seriously interested in him.”
Over the last week or so, there have been so many transfer rumours to have emerged from Anfield that it’s been hard to keep up.
On the other hand, however, Hato would maybe be the smarter choice of the two for Liverpool because he’s much more versatile.
Of course, only time will tell what the future holds, but on the face of things, Hato seems to be the best move for Liverpool, even if Guehi has had plenty of Premier League experience.
