Liverpool are actively pursuing Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi ahead of the transfer deadline. Guehi, 25, will be out of contract at season’s end, placing Palace under pressure to sell rather than risk losing him for free next year. Palace currently value Guehi at around £35m, but Liverpool hope to agree a lower fee because he has only 12 months remaining on his contract and the price may fall as the window closes. Guehi has performed strongly for England and Palace, and Liverpool view him as defensive depth while also targeting Alexander Isak to boost their attack.
The 25-year-old defender will be out of contract at the end of this season, and the Eagles are under pressure to sanction his departure. They will not want to lose a key player like him on a free transfer next year. According to Football Insider, the Premier League champions are very much in talks to sign the England international, and it remains to be seen whether the two parties can come to an agreement soon.
Liverpool remain in talks with Crystal Palace over a move for Marc Guehi,Pete O'Rourke told Football Insider. Obviously the two clubs are apart in valuations right now for Marc Guehi with Palace holding out for around 35million plus. Liverpool are hoping they can land the England international on a smaller fee because of his contract situation, with just 12 months to go.
Liverpool have looked vulnerable defensively in their last two matches against Palace and Bournemouth. Signing a central defender should be their top priority before the window closes. Meanwhile, they are looking to improve the attack with thr signing of Alexander Isak as well. Given his contract situation, Liverpool will not want to pay a premium for Guehi. They will look to negotiate a reasonable deal with Palace in the coming weeks.
