Liverpool is poised to engage in further discussions with Crystal Palace regarding defender Marc Guehi, following their face-off in the Community Shield - Chelsea, however, is yet to make a fresh approach.

The Reds have pinpointed the England international as a prime defensive target as Arne Slot seeks a long-term replacement for captain Virgil van Dijk, and additional cover is required in the wake of Jarrell Quansah's move to Bayer Leverkusen.

Quansah's exit leaves Liverpool with only three recognised center-backs ahead of the new season, and Slot will be keen to ensure his squad is adequately equipped to defend their Premier League title.

Liverpool is reportedly a big admirer of Guehi and is eager to expedite talks with Palace, but will do so after Sunday's Wembley showdown between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners, as per the Daily Mail.

Guehi is much sought-after following an outstanding season with Palace, and his former club Chelsea is rumored to be interested in welcoming him back to Stamford Bridge.

Slot's team has already splashed nearly $400M in the transfer window and is still pursuing a lucrative move for Alexander Isak, despite Newcastle turning down their recent $146M offer.
