Liverpool has decided to make a new splash in the summer transfer market with three objectives to assemble the best squad in the world: Alexander Isak from Newcastle, Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, and Giovanni Leoni from Parma.

After signing Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong, the Reds aim to finalize these three additions to become the top contender to win the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Alexander Isak, Liverpool's top priority signing

The most publicized case is that of Alexander Isak, the Swedish striker from Newcastle United. Tensions between the player and his club have escalated in recent weeks. Isak has stated he will not play for the 'Magpies' until his future is resolved, expressing his desire to move to Anfield.

Newcastle, however, remains firm. They turned down an offer of 140 million euros from Liverpool, insisting that the forward is not for sale. Nevertheless, Isak has decided to apply pressure, even refusing to train under Eddie Howe's orders and making it clear he does not want to stay at St James’ Park.

At Anfield, Arne Slot considers Isak as an ideal complement to Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez, providing mobility, goals, and a presence in the box. The board, albeit cautiously, is willing to continue negotiations to persuade Newcastle before the market closes.

Marc Guehi, the solution for Liverpool's defense

The second target on the list is Marc Guehi, the English center-back from Crystal Palace. The 'Reds' defense is going through a delicate moment: Joe Gomez remains injured, Jarell Quansah moved to Bayer Leverkusen, and Ibrahima Konaté has only one year left on his contract.

Guehi, whose contract with Palace expires in 2025, is seen as a key piece to strengthen the backline. His Premier League experience and defensive solidity make him a very attractive option. Crystal Palace previously rejected offers from Newcastle but is now willing to negotiate to prevent the player from leaving for free next summer.

For coach Arne Slot, Guehi's arrival would bring balance, leadership, and long-term potential. Additionally, Guehi seeks quality minutes to secure his place in the English national team before the World Cup.

Giovanni Leoni, a future bet

The third name on the agenda is Giovanni Leoni, an 18-year-old Italian central defender playing for Parma. Considered one of Europe's defensive gems, the young defender has already attracted interest from giants like Juventus, Inter, and Milan.

Liverpool has already started discussions, although it is estimated that at least 30 million euros will be needed to convince Parma. Trained at Padua and with a brief spell at Sampdoria, Leoni stands out for his game reading, technical quality, and tactical maturity uncommon for his age.

This summer, Liverpool has strengthened various positions with signings like Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, and Florian Wirtz. However, the board believes that the arrivals of Isak, Guehi, and Leoni would provide the team with the perfect balance to compete for all titles.

The project aims to combine Premier League experience with young talent and international potential. In this regard, the club's strategy resembles previous moves that solidified its success, such as the signings of Virgil Van Dijk or Alisson Becker.

Alexander Isak, Liverpool's top priority

Liverpool aims to close a historic transfer window

The standoff between Alexander Isak and Newcastle will be decisive. If the forward maintains his stance and Liverpool increases their offer, one of the club's most expensive transfers could occur.

On the other hand, the deal for Marc Guehi seems more feasible as Palace is open to negotiations. Regarding Giovanni Leoni, Liverpool's ability to entice the player and persuade Parma in the coming weeks will be crucial.

With the transfer window nearing its end, Liverpool is in full swing to secure these three signings. Success would bring them closer to achieving their goal: forming a squad capable of competing for all titles in England and Europe.

The outcome will depend on swift negotiations, compelling offers, and whether the selling clubs yield to the pressure of a giant eager to dominate world football.
