Liverpool still interested in signing Marc Guehi this summer
Liverpool They are reportedly still interested in signing Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi this summer, according to The athletic.
Several of the Eagles' stars have attracted the attention of the top brass at Premier League clubs in this transfer window after their impressive performances in the second half of last season under new coach Oliver Glasner.
Michael Olise has already joined Bayern Munich after being linked with Manchester United and ChelseaIn addition, Eberechi Eze has been suggested as a potential target for Tottenham Hot spur.
However, Guehi has also appeared on Liverpool's radar and Man Utdespecially after his impressive performances at the European Championships for England. But, having already signed Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, it is highly unlikely that the Red Devils will want to sign him this summer as well.
Newcastle United They have also expressed interest in English and The athletic The Magpies have reportedly tabled an offer of up to £65m, including bonuses, to sign the defender. But Crystal Palace have rejected the offer because they do not want to let him leave for less than £70m, so Eddie Howe's side are now looking elsewhere.
From Guehi to Liverpool
The report says that with Sepp van den Berg and Joe Gomez looking likely to leave before the deadline, Liverpool are exploring options to sign a new defender and are keen on Guehi.
The Englishman is quick, strong, comfortable playing out from the back, efficient in his defensive contributions and also reads the game well. He is a talented player and has the potential to become a top defender in the future.
Furthermore, the 24-year-old has already captained Crystal Palace in numerous matches, so he possesses leadership qualities. Therefore, the former Chelsea star would be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool if they sign him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately opt to formalise their interest in signing him before this transfer window closes.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have begun their new era under new manager Arne Slot with a comfortable win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League last weekend. They now host Brentford at Anfield next weekend and Slot will be hoping to continue the winning streak in this fixture as well.
