Liverpool are now more confident than ever to get the Marc Guehi deal over the line before the deadline day.
The Reds have already agreed on personal terms with Marc Guehi. Now, the only thing left to get this deal over the line is the agreement on the transfer fee with Crystal Palace.
Guehi’s contract with Palace will expire next year. So, the Reds can easily sign Guehi as a free agent next year.
However, Arne Slot wants to have a team that can retain the Premier League and win it for a record 21 times.
That is why the Dutch manager knows the importance of signing the defender. So, he is pushing Liverpool to get the deal over the line before the transfer window shuts.
Meanwhile, the only thing that is preventing this deal from getting over the line is Crystal Palace not signing a replacement first.
Yes, the London club needs to sign a replacement before they can part ways with Guehi. And now, they are close to signing the Marc Guehi replacement.
According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are now close to agreeing a fee with Brighton for Igor Julio. The Eagles want to sign the Brazilian defender on a loan deal.
Also, the Igor to Crystal Palace loan deal will have a buy option as well. If this deal gets over the line, it will be a positive sign for Liverpool.
It will mean that the Marc Guehi to Liverpool deal will be completed before the deadline day.
