Parma’s 18-year-old centre-back Giovanni Leoni has caught Liverpool’s attention, despite having just 33 senior appearances to his name so far. Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that the Reds are ‘advancing in the background’ for the teenager and are ‘seriously considering’ a move for him if they do not get Guehi.

Liverpool's preparations for the upcoming Premier League season ended in defeat as they were beaten by Crystal Palace at Wembley on Sunday. First-half goals from new signings Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong had the Reds 2-1 up at half-time, but a late leveller from Ismaila Sarr took the game to penalties.
