Liverpool shows ‘real interest’ in signing Crystal Palace Center-back Marc Guehi, according to BBC Sport.
The 25-year-old is a talismanic figure for the Eagles since he joined Chelsea in 2021. He even secured his place in the English national team, after he has shown impressive versions in the Premier League in recent years.
Guehi led his country to reach the final of the European Championship last summer. Then he attracted a lot of attention last season. The Reds were currently connected to a movement for him, but Newcastle United made a concrete approach to secure his service.
They even launched a formal proposal, but the South London club did not allow his departure. Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign him last winter, but the side of Oliver Glasner managed to hold him.
This decision turned out to be a success when he led Crystal Palace to win the FA Cup in previous term, and this is their first big trophy ever. Now he has entered into the last 11 months of his current contract; As a result, speculation was raised around his future.
BBC Sport reports that the Englishman does not intend to sign an extension and Liverpool shows a ‘sincere interest’ to buy him. The Eagles do not want him to leave for slightly less than £ 40 million, and the Reds do not want to match the figure.
Guehi to Liverpool
Tottenham and Newcastle are still interested in him, while Chelsea is willing to bring him back to Stamford Bridge. However, Guehi can be tempted to move the ruling Premier League champions, especially after their impressive transfer activities this summer.
Although the Merseyside Club has spent a lot of money, they have not focused on strengthening the center-back position. But they should do that for the end of this transfer window.
Liverpool currently has Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk the only center-back options after the departure of Jarell Quansah. On the other hand, Joe Gomez continued to struggle with injury problems.
That is why their season can derail the next term if one of the available centralbacks suffers from injury problems. Konate’s future, on the other hand, is uncertain because his existing deal will be expired next summer.
