Liverpool Targeting Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as Deadline Approaches
Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi has been heavily linked with a summer exit from Selhurst Park, with Liverpool emerging as a serious contender for his signature.
According to TBR Football, Palace chairman Steve Parish is now prepared to sanction Guehi’s departure and is particularly keen on striking a deal with Liverpool. Parish hopes the reigning Premier League champions will table a suitable bid for the 25-year-old England international.
Palace Ready to Cash In
With Guehi entering the final year of his contract, Palace are determined not to risk losing him on a free transfer next summer. The club values the defender at around £40 million, while Liverpool are reportedly pushing for a fee closer to £30 million. Whether both sides can reach an agreement remains to be seen.
Guehi has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League and now appears ready to test himself at a higher level. A move to a club of Liverpool’s stature would provide the opportunity to compete for major honours, perfectly aligning with his long-term ambitions.
A Strong Fit for Liverpool
Liverpool, on the other hand, are actively seeking defensive reinforcements. Their back line has shown vulnerabilities over the past year, and even early this season, sides like Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have exploited those weaknesses. Without shoring up their defence, Liverpool’s chances of sustaining a title challenge could be at risk.
Given his performances for both club and country, Guehi looks like an ideal signing to bolster Liverpool’s defence. The next few days will be decisive in determining whether this transfer goes through.
