Liverpool are reportedly preparing for potential departures and are actively looking to strengthen their squad, particularly in defense. With the possibility of Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving when his contract expires in the summer, the Reds are exploring options to fill the right-back position. Chelsea defender Malo Gusto has emerged as a potential target, with Liverpool looking to offer him more regular playing time than he receives at Stamford Bridge. Gusto is currently behind Reece James in the pecking order at Chelsea, and the opportunity to become a regular starter at Anfield could entice the 21-year-old.
Additionally, Liverpool is said to be ahead of Chelsea in the race to sign Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi. With his contract at Selhurst Park running until 2026, Crystal Palace may look to sell him in 2025 rather than risk losing him for free. Guehi has been a key player for Palace, making 130 appearances and contributing seven goals and three assists. If Liverpool secures Guehi’s signature, it could further bolster their defensive options in the coming seasons.
