Liverpool Set to Secure Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace Amid Transfer Battle
Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of securing the services of Crystal Palace's standout defender, Marc Guehi. Amidst a fierce competition with Chelsea and Newcastle, the Reds appear to have taken the lead in the race for the 23-year-old England international. Guehi, who has been a pivotal figure in Palace's defense since his transfer from Chelsea in 2021, is valued for his composure and leadership on the pitch.
Recent reports suggest that Liverpool might be able to clinch the deal for a reduced fee, a development that could see the promising defender don the iconic red jersey next season. This move is seen as part of Liverpool's strategy to bolster their defense, especially following the departure of key players in previous transfer windows.
On the other hand, Chelsea, Guehi's former club, have been exploring alternative targets. Manager Enzo Maresca is reportedly considering other options despite a positive update on their pursuit of a £70m target, indicating a shift in their transfer strategy as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
