Marc Guehi could be Liverpool's latest signing

Liverpool fans got a glimpse of their new signings as the club kicked off its pre-season. Giorgi Mamardashvili made his debut against Preston on Sunday, following his transfer from Valencia, giving the Reds a taste of his potential.

Summer recruits Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez also had a run out at Deepdale, showcasing their skills in the full-back position. Record signing Florian Wirtz was absent from the squad, with the German and other senior players reportedly training at the club's facilities.

Despite these exciting additions, there could still be more fresh faces at Anfield. Rumours are swirling about a possible move for Rodrygo, while Liverpool might try to coax Crystal Palace into a deal for Marc Guehi.

Arne Slot's team could also see some departures. Speculation is rife over the futures of Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate, while Darwin Nunez is expected to leave. Daily Star Sport provides an update on the latest transfer gossip surrounding Anfield.

It seems the Reds are ready to propose a deal involving French international Konate and a transfer fee in an attempt to entice Rodrygo to Merseyside. It's reported that Liverpool are willing to shell out £30.2m, plus Konate, reports the Mirror.

While the proposal is appealing to those at the Spanish capital, club bosses are expected to demand a higher fee if Liverpool make a formal offer. La Liga heavyweights reportedly value Rodrygo at £86.5m.

Liverpool are said to be preparing a £40m 'take it or leave it' bid for Marc Guehi this summer, according to reports. The Crystal Palace defender has one year left on his contract and is reportedly open to running down his deal.

However, the Reds seem ready to challenge the Eagles' determination with an offer that could prove tempting to the Selhurst Park side. Guehi has previously been linked with a preference for a move to Liverpool, despite interest from Newcastle and Arsenal.

The Palace captain's involvement in the club's new kit launch suggests an immediate exit is unlikely.

Diaz is believed to have been offered a five-year contract by the Bundesliga giants, but Liverpool have not yet shown any willingness to agree to a deal. As reported by BILD, Vincent Kompany's team are now considering Trossard.
