Liverpool are reportedly preparing a mega money contract offer to secure a key player as part of their ongoing transfer strategy. The deal is seen as a significant investment aimed to strengthen their squad depth and maintain competitive edge for the upcoming seasons.
According to reports, Liverpool have targeted an 18-year-old defensive talent, Giovanni Leoni from Parma, agreeing on a £26 million fee with his announcement expected imminently. This signing is part of Liverpool’s broader effort to bolster their defensive options as center-back depth remains a priority following other transfer activities this summer.
In parallel, Liverpool are still pursuing Marc Guéhi, a highly-rated centre-back from Crystal Palace. The transfer negotiations have hit some resistance due to Crystal Palace's valuation exceeding £40 million, which Liverpool have so far been hesitant to meet. Guéhi has one year left on his contract and has not shown willingness to extend, making his future uncertain. Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the player, potentially complicating Liverpool's pursuit.
This activity follows Liverpool's significant spending this summer balanced with several departures, signaling a clear strategy to refresh and strengthen the squad for Premier League and European competitions. The club’s ambition is reflected also in their commercial deals, having just finalized a new high-value apparel contract with Adidas, reportedly worth north of £60 million annually, further increasing their financial muscle.
Overall, Liverpool’s planned mega contract offer and multiple transfer moves underscore their commitment to maintaining their position at the top of English and European football.
