AC Milan & Calciomercato expert shared more details about the deal in his Twitter/X account. As per reports, Leeds manager Daniel Farke is willing to sign a new centre-back before the season unfolds.
The Whites saw large number of their players leave the club, with only three new signings this summer. However, same goes for Liverpool as most of transfer business in this window has been outgoings.
For Reds, majority of their midfielders also left the club and manager Jurgen Klopp plans to rebuild their game at the middle of the pitch this season. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai has been the two new additions in the Liverpool roster this summer.
