Guehi linked, Mac Allister ‘deal’ & sporting director talks – Latest LFC News

As we begin our build-up to the season-finale this weekend, the latest news on planet Liverpool includes plenty of transfer links, a sporting director update and the latest from our departing Brazilian.

 

Klopp ‘wants’ defender

For all the talk of midfield reinforcements this summer, Liverpool could also look to strengthen the defensive area in the imminent transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp told reporters prior to his side’s 1-1 draw to Aston Villa that Liverpool will “look in all departments – apart from goalkeeper” when seeking signings ahead of next season.

The manager continued by indicating that the Reds would make their move for a defender “if there is a good one” and recent reports have suggested that Crystal Palace‘s Marc Guehi could be a target.

The 22-year-old is said to come with a £50 million price tag, but his fitness record could be of interest given our recent struggles with injuries at the back.

Reliable Liverpool journalist Paul Joyce has described Klopp as being “interested in defensive signings” in the Times, with the likes of Goncalo Inacio, Levi Colwill and Antonio Silva all reportedly on the radar.
