Liverpool are set to sign Giovanni Leoni, but Arne Slot would not be drawn on links to Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace

An offer is yet to be made for the England international while an agreement would also need to be reached on the player side.

Palace captain Guehi has a year left on his contract, but chairman Steve Parish said earlier this week he could be sold this summer to avoid him moving on a free transfer in 12 months' time. Sources have told BBC Sport that Liverpool have held initial talks with a view to signing the 25-year-old before the summer transfer window shuts.
