Liverpool’s summer plans have moved with intent.
After parting ways with Jarrel Quansah and seeing Ibrahima KonatE approach the final year of his deal, the club is actively searching for a defender.
Virgil van Dijk remains the leader, but with age catching up and Champions League football in the fixture, the Reds know they need a younger option to step in now and become a leader later.
The scouting department has tracked Jorrel Hato and Charlie Cresswell. Each fits the 18 to 22 age bracket that Liverpool have been prioritising.
Transfer News Live reported earlier that Liverpool are showing interest in Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace.
Tottenham and Newcastle United have both tried before. One made a January approach, the other pushed hard last summer. Both were turned down by Palace.
Even now, the transfer price of Guehi has been the issue. Liverpool are not willing to go above £45 million and will only act if the number makes sense. Yet things may finally be shifting in their favour.
Liverpool receive massive Marc Guehi transfer boost
According to GIVEMESPORT, Crystal Palace are now open to offers for Marc Guehi.
With just one year left on his contract and no sign of an extension, the Eagles have decided it is time to consider bids.
This could be the breakthrough Liverpool have been waiting for. Guehi ticks all the boxes. He is experienced, young, homegrown, and eager to play regularly ahead of the World Cup.
Whether it is at Anfield or elsewhere, a move looks likely. And Liverpool just might be in pole position if they move fast.
This summer, Liverpool have been very active and they are wrapping up deals within a snap of fingers.
So, it will not be surprising to see this Marc Guehi to Liverpool deal getting over the line.
