The Marc Guehi snub is still fresh in the memory, but Liverpool might make up for it this summer if they can get a deal for another talented Premier League centre-back over the line. Man City got the better of Liverpool in that transfer race, and it certainly has hurt the Reds this season.

Liverpool were named as frontrunners to sign Marcos Senesi on a free transfer from Bournemouth, and while his name might not pop the way Guehi’s does, he might actually be the better option for Arne Slot.

Guehi is a top-quality centre-back, and his age and leadership make him the admittedly more desirable option, but Senesi’s performances this season have been immense. From the numbers, you could conclude that Senesi is the better option in every metric but age.
