Liverpool fans are still waiting for their club to make their first signing of the summer transfer window.
Liverpool’s decision-making regarding potential new signings could change soon as they approach the end of the transfer window with just four days left. They need to act quickly. They have been turned down by Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and a deal for Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon fell through. However, Liverpool is reportedly considering a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
They might interfere with Newcastle’s attempts to sign Guehi, who has already had four bids from the Magpies rejected but remains a target for them. Liverpool is now in the mix, looking for a long-term replacement for Virgil Van Dijk.
The Dutch defender is entering the final year of his contract, prompting Liverpool to plan for a future without him. Crystal Palace is asking for nearly £70 million for the centre-back, a sum similar to what Liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk from Southampton.
Liverpool’s defense struggled with goals last season, highlighting the need for a new centre-back. With Joel Matip departing this summer after his contract ended, and despite having Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, and Ibrahima Konate on the roster, Liverpool requires a dependable defender to partner with Van Dijk.
