Liverpool have submitted a transfer bid worth approximately £40 million to Crystal Palace for the England international centre-back Marc Guehi. This offer represents Liverpool's strong interest in securing the services of Guehi before the transfer window closes soon.
Guehi, who is the captain of Crystal Palace, has less than a year remaining on his current contract at Selhurst Park. Despite Palace’s desire to keep him, the defender has made it clear that he does not intend to sign a new deal with the club and is instead looking to embark on a new chapter in his career with Liverpool.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with Liverpool reportedly prepared to play a waiting game to get the best possible deal. At the same time, Palace have been linked with potential replacements for Guehi, including Juventus’ Lloyd Kelly and Toulouse’s Jaydee Canvot, indicating they are planning for his possible departure.
Additionally, Liverpool’s squad is undergoing changes, with Kostas Tsimikas likely to leave Anfield on loan to AS Roma as he seeks more playing time, which could be a factor in Liverpool’s defensive reshuffle involving Guehi.
Sources close to the transfer indicate Liverpool's confidence in finalizing the deal, and more talks have taken place this week to try and reach an agreement. With the deadline approaching, this transfer remains one of Liverpool's key focuses for reinforcing their defense ahead of the new season.
