Liverpool are expected to make a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according to former Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham scout Mick Brown.
The England international has attracted the attention of some of England’s biggest clubs.
he was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United in the summer transfer market, but a move did not materialize for the 24-year-old centre-back.
He is expected to move away from Selhurst Park in the near future after impressive performances for his club and especially England at Euro 2024.
with Virgil Van Dijk’s future up in the airBrown hopes Liverpool will make a move to bring the talented defender to Anfield.
“He’s in the England team as a first-choice centre-back,” he said Football Insider.
“It always comes at a certain premium, but which top-flight clubs are looking for a centre-back?
“Liverpool are, from what I hear, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a move next summer.
“With Van Dijk’s situation there as well, they see Guehi as a potential replacement.
“If he doesn’t sign a new contract there, they will desperately need a top-class player and I think Guehi definitely fits that bill.”
Guehi only has one year left on his contract at the club at the end of the season, meaning Palace will be unable to demand a huge fee for the defender.
With Van Dijk entering the final year of his contract at the club this season, signing a new defender could become Liverpool’s priority next year.
Marc Guehi would be the perfect signing for Liverpool
Guehi would be the ideal candidate to replace the Dutch centre-back or to become his partner in the Liverpool team if Van Dijk extends his contract.
The Palace defender would add quality to Liverpool’s defence, although he has been brilliant defensively under Arne Slot this season.
The Merseyside club have conceded just three goals in eight Premier League games this season.
Newcastle United made a £70million move for the England defender in the summer, but their move was rejected by the south London club.
Palace will not be able to demand the same figure next year for Guehi, meaning he could be available in a cut-price deal.
