The latest Liverpool transfer news, views and rumours with updates on Alexander Isak, Marc Guehi, Harvey Elliott, Rodrygo, Giovanni Leoni, Malick Fofana and more

Club sources have confirmed to TBR Football that Liverpool have agreed terms with Parma over a deal for defender Leoni, but in turn, their talks with Crystal Palace over Guehi have failed to be as successful. We can confirm teenager Leoni has agreed terms on a six-year deal and he is set to head to Merseyside straight away.

Virgil van Dijk admitted that further defensive reinforcements would ‘accelerate’ Liverpool ’s improvement as the club considers a move for Marc Guehi. Liverpool secured a dramatic 4-2 victory over Bournemouth in their opening Premier League fixture after late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamaed Salah.

Everton remain on the lookout for a new academy director and head of academy recruitment after the departures of Gareth Prosser and James Vaughan this summer. Head of academy coaching Carl Darlington, formerly of the Welsh FA, has been named as interim academy director while a replacement for Prosser is found.

“Liverpool were never going to pay huge money for Marc Guehi this summer. They like him a lot, but a move to Anfield is far from a done deal. If the Crystal Palace defender becomes available next summer, he is set to be ‘one of the most in-demand free agents we’ve probably ever seen,’ with offers expected from virtually every major club in Europe.

Liverpool are likely to intensify their pursuit of Marc Guehi after Ibrahima Konate's miserable opening day performance against Bournemouth.

As a respected leader and captain for Palace, playfully referred to as "Uncle Marc" by his England team-mates because of his maturity and temperament, he fits into the culture Liverpool have fostered over this recent period of success.

Crystal Palace reportedly want Liverpool attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott to replace Tottenham Hotspur target Eberechi Eze. Palace and Liverpool are currently in talks over a deal to send Marc Guehi to Anfield, and Elliott could become part of the negotiations.
