Liverpool could be preparing an exciting move before the transfer window shuts close.
Even though there have been a lot of new faces arriving at Anfield, Richard Hughes isn't just done yet. Liverpool are set to complete a move for Giovanni Leoni.

Meanwhile, the club continues to work on recruiting Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi.
But the duo may not the only potential new signings before the September first deadline.
While Liverpool have already brought in a lot of new players, it's also important to note that a lot of players have left. From Trent Alexander-Arnold to Caoimhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, Tyler Morton, Luis Diaz to Darwin Nunez.
Now the latest departure from the club is expected to be Ben Doak.
Liverpool have agreed a £25m move to sell him to Bournemouth as per The Guardian.

Doak was on the bench at Wembley, so he was considered to be part of Arne Slot's plans. This is because Liverpool have lost three senior attackers this summer, and have only brought in Hugo Ekitike so far.
Florian Wirtz could play in an attacking position but that's not the role he was signed for.
Alexander Isak may be brought in. But even his arrival will leave Liverpool at least one player short compared to last season. And that's before we even start to think about the possibility of Federico Chiesa leaving.
So, given Doak's departure, the doors have definitely opened for Liverpool to not just sign Isak and Guehi but a winger as well.
DaveOCKOP seems to confirm this, with an exclusive report Liverpool are looking at wingers in the £60-70m range.
Who might that winger be?
Well, one player who a Liverpool move might now be open for is Yankuba Minteh. Liverpool wanted to sign him last summer.
He has worked with Arne Slot in the past, while he went out on loan to Feyenoord during the 2023/24 season and actually thrived under the Dutchman.
Minteh has had an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League. He was nominated for the Player of the Month at one point, and finished the season with seven goal contributions in his last 14 starts.
His speed and his work rate makes him the perfect player for Liverpool's system. While he predominantly plays as a right-winger, he can also play as a left-winger.
Crucially, The Gambia did not qualify for AFCON this year, so he'll be available when Salah leaves in December to compete at the tournament.
Minteh is a special talent, and someone Slot and Liverpool both clearly rate highly. With Doak's departure, the doors are now ajar for him to join the Reds.
