Liverpool also interested in Parma defender Leoni

Liverpool have opened talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guéhi and are considering a move for Parma centre-half Giovanni Leoni as they attempt to increase Arne Slot’s defensive options.
The 18-year-old Leoni impressed in the second half of last season for Parma, making 17 appearances, and has attracted interest from several Serie A clubs this summer, including Inter. new coach, Cristian Chivu, was in charge at Parma last season.
Liverpool are also keen on the 6ft 5in defender and ready to step up their interest if they receive encouragement that he is open to leaving Italy. The Premier League champions have not made an approach to Parma.
