Liverpool close in on Marc Guehi

Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Marc Guehi after submitting a £35million bid for the Crystal Palace defender.

Negotiations are continuing between the two sides and it's believed £40m could be enough to see the England international swap Selhurst Park for Anfield.

Oliver Glasner has been desperate to keep Guehi - even if it means losing him on a free transfer in 2026 - but Palace chairman Steve Parish is willing to sanction the 25-year-old's departure.

Liverpool's offer also includes a 10 per cent sell-on clause.

Guehi is keen to move to Merseyside, personal terms will not be an issue but he would also have no qualms about seeing out the final 12 months of his deal in south east London.
