Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
The 24-year-old was a target for the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool during the summer transfer window, but a move failed to materialise. according to soccer insiderCrystal Palace were holding out for a fee of around £75m and that complicated any potential move.
However, the London club are expected to reduce their demands in the near future. Guehi has a contract with Crystal Palace until 2026 and will be in the final year of his contract next summer. The Eagles will be under pressure to trade him and will likely accept a more reasonable fee then.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can swoop in and secure his services. They need a quality central defender, especially with Virgil van Dijk nearing the end of his contract at the club.
Marc Guehi would be an excellent addition
Guehi has proven himself in the Premier League in recent seasons and there is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the country. He could prove to be a quality signing for Liverpool at the right price.
The player has also been linked with Chelsea, but the report suggests the defender could reject a return to his former club in favor of other offers.
The England international will want to compete at the highest level, and Liverpool can offer him the platform. They have been pushing for trophies regularly and the 24-year-old will be able to realize his ambitions with them.
