Liverpool<\/a> are reportedly battling with Manchester United<\/a> and Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur over a deal to sign Marco Palestra, as per TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After letting Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> leave last summer, the Reds bolstered the right-back position by purchasing Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.<\/p>\n However, the Dutchman has displayed below-average performances in the Premier League<\/a> this season, with fitness problems being one of the main reasons.<\/p>\n Apart from Frimpong, the Merseyside club also have Conor Bradley as the right-back option. However, he picked up a season-ending injury earlier this year.<\/p>\n As a result, Arne Slot has used Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones on the right side of the defence this season, although they are midfielders by trait.<\/p>\n Now, TEAMtalk<\/em> claim that Liverpool are planning to sign a new RB in the summer and have identified Palestra as a serious option. They have been monitoring his development closely this season before making a potential swoop.<\/p>\n The 21-year-old has enjoyed a promising campaign for Cagliari, on loan from Atalanta, this season, and La Dea have slapped a \u00a339m price tag on his head.<\/p>\n However, purchasing the Italian won\u2019t be straightforward for the Reds as Arsenal<\/a>, Chelsea<\/a>, Manchester United, Newcastle United<\/a>, and Tottenham have all been keeping a close eye on his development.<\/p>\n Moreover, Crystal Palace, AFC Bournemouth, Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, and Napoli are also interested in him. However, Atalanta don\u2019t want to sell their star man to direct rivals.<\/p>\n Palestra has been playing as an RWB for Cagliari but is also efficient on the opposite side. Moreover, he can provide cover in the right-back position.<\/p>\n Having displayed impressive performances in Serie A, the youngster has secured his place in the Italian national team.<\/p>\n Man Utd already have Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot as options to deploy in the right-back position. So, they don\u2019t need to invest more to add further depth to this position unless anyone leaves.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Tottenham are set to start a new rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s guidance. So, the Italian boss is seemingly planning to refresh the right-back position by purchasing his compatriot.<\/p>\n It is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club, the Old Trafford club, or the Merseyside club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services this summer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
