Liverpool are actively scouting defensive reinforcements as new manager Arne Slot prepares for his first season at Anfield, with two prominent names emerging as potential targets.
Guehi and Yoro on Liverpool's Radar
Crystal Palace's England international Marc Guehi and Lille's highly-rated teenager Leny Yoro have reportedly been identified as key candidates to bolster Liverpool's backline. The Reds are keen to add quality depth to their defensive options following the departure of Joel Matip.
Guehi: The Homegrown Option
Marc Guehi has impressed during his time at Crystal Palace, earning him a regular spot in Gareth Southgate's England squad. The 23-year-old centre-back's Premier League experience and ball-playing ability make him an attractive proposition for Liverpool.
Yoro: The Rising Star
At just 18 years old, Leny Yoro has already established himself as a first-team regular for Lille. The French youth international's composure and technical skills have drawn comparisons with some of Europe's finest young defenders.
Slot's Defensive Revamp
With Virgil van Dijk entering the latter stages of his career and Ibrahima Konate's injury concerns, Liverpool's new manager is understood to be prioritising defensive reinforcements. The potential signings would provide crucial competition for places as Liverpool aim to mount a serious title challenge.
The club's recruitment team are reportedly weighing up their options, with Guehi's Premier League experience balanced against Yoro's potential and likely lower transfer fee. A decision is expected before the start of pre-season training.
