Marc Guehi is the latest player to be linked with a move to Liverpool this summer.

For the last week or so, Guehi has been the most-linked player to Liverpool.

However, as per a report from David Lynch, it seems like Liverpool are waiting to see whether Palace are open to negotiating Guehi’s fee before making their first move.

“I think that they need a signal from Palace that there is a negotiation to be had,” he said on the Sports Mole YouTube channel.

“It’s not going to be a case where it drags on all summer as they did with Newcastle a couple of seasons ago.

“That just never went anywhere, it’s an interesting one that they like him, I think it just says something in the kind of change in transfer policy at Liverpool.”

Liverpool have Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk as their starting centre-backs at the moment.

And, while both are world-class players, much like Guehi, Konate’s contract is set to run out at the end of the 2025-26 season.

There have been rumours over the last few days that Real Madrid want to sign the Frenchman, and with no extension in sight, it’s beginning to feel like that could be a real possibility.

Of course, there’s plenty of time before the transfer deadline strikes, but in reality, it feels like Liverpool have already found their perfect replacement, if they can get him for the right price, of course.
