Liverpool closing in on agreement to sign World Cup winner

Liverpool are closing in on signing a world champion with an agreement on personal terms already in place.

The club's sporting director, Richard Hughes, has done an excellent job this summer. But Liverpool are far from done. No, they are just about to end the summer transfer window with another bang.

The Reds caused mayhem earlier on in the window with a flurry of new signings that saw Florian Wirtz arrive for a club record fee, followed by Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.

In between, around the middle of the window there was also the arrival of Hugo Ekitike, who looks to be a gem.

And now they are set to be followed by three more arrivals, most notably Alexander Isak, who the Reds are still very keen on.

He is not the only player sought after and who Liverpool are closing in on.

Hughes also needs to address the centre-back department. At this moment in time, Arne Slot has just two available centre-backs with Joe Gomez out injured.

In the event that either Ibrahima Konate or Virgil van Dijk get injured or suspended, he'd have to use Wataru Endo or Ryan Gravenberch as a back-up option.

That's not a tenable position to be in. Which is why Richard Hughes is on the case to change that. Liverpool are working on signing Giovanni Leoni, who will be a replacement for Jarell Quansah.

But they are also closing in on a deal for Marc Guehi.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have even agreed personal terms with Guehi and a deal could be done 'soon.'

This would be a fantastic addition to Arne Slot's side. Guehi is an established and proven Premier League player, who showed he is a world-class defender at Euro 2024 last year.

He's England's best defender and has an incredible pedigree from being one of the youngest Premier League captains to delivering two trophies during his time at Crystal Palace.

In the past, he's also been a World Champion, winning the U17 World Cup with England and belongs to a golden generation of Three Lions stars.

He proved at Wembley on Sunday that he can handle the toughest of opponents producing a brilliant performance against Mohamed Salah.

If Liverpool can get a deal for Guehi, Leoni and Isak over the line, it would be the perfect summer.
