Fabrizio Romano’s ‘Here We Go’ triggers movement on Liverpool target…

Fabrizio Romano’s ‘Here We Go’ signals action on a Liverpool target.

Fabrizio Romano has announced a ‘here we go’, indicating that movement will finally occur regarding a Liverpool target. Developments could happen swiftly.

Liverpool is in need of a new centre-back. Jarell Quansah departed the club this summer without a replacement.

In fact, there is no adequate substitute within the entire squad. Liverpool previously had four senior centre-backs, but they are now down to three.

To make matters worse, Quansah was a homegrown talent, and Liverpool has lost several of those this summer. Quansah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, and Tyler Morton have all exited, leading to a significant issue.

One potential solution is to acquire a homegrown player. Alternatively, they could sign a young player who could qualify as homegrown, and it seems Liverpool may have identified one in Geovani Leoni.

Leoni is an 18-year-old defender from Italy, currently making waves at Parma. There is considerable interest in him, with Liverpool among several clubs actively scouting him.

However, there may now be real movement for Leoni – and Liverpool needs to take action.

The Giovanni Leoni situation

Corriere Dello Sport is the latest source connecting Liverpool to Leoni. They also mention interest from AC Milan and Inter.

The Milan clubs are keen on one of Italy’s most promising talents. Additionally, Milan appears more likely to pursue him if Malick Thiaw leaves the club.

That situation is now unfolding. Fabrizio Romano is among those reporting that a deal has been reached, and Thiaw will transfer to Newcastle United for approximately €40m.

This development paves the way for them to acquire a new centre-back, and it seems Leoni is at the top of their list. This naturally poses a challenge for Liverpool.

It appears that Liverpool will only pursue Leoni if they are unable to secure Marc Guehi this summer. This means they cannot actively pursue the Italian until they have clarity on that front.

Milan could acquire him during that period – thus, a decision must be made. Leoni appears to be one of the most promising centre-back talents in football at the moment, playing in a top league at only 18 years old.

However, timing is a concern, so if Liverpool is interested, they need to reach a conclusion. Swiftly.
