Liverpool stepping up bid to sign Palace's Guehi

Liverpool are intensifying efforts to sign Crystal Palace and England center-back Marc Guehi, who has a year left on his contract. The Premier League club is also in talks to secure Parma center-back Giovanni Leoni, seen as a prospect for the future. Liverpool are looking to bolster their defense and have already made significant signings this summer, including negotiating a potential deal for Swedish striker Alexander Isak. The club's summer spending could exceed £400m if they successfully acquire Guehi and Isak.
