Liverpool is nearing an agreement to acquire Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi this summer, as reported by DaveOCKop.
The Reds have already had an active summer transfer window, having completed deals for Bayer Leverkusen players Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, and they also confirmed the signing of Milos Kerkez on Thursday afternoon.
However, Arne Slot’s team appears poised to enhance their squad further by adding a new central defender, with Guehi on the verge of a transfer to Anfield.
Guehi, often referred to as a “superstar”, is approaching the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park this summer and is poised to depart the club in pursuit of playing football at the highest level.
Recent reports from me indicate that Crystal Palace is inclined to sell their captain after he communicated his intention not to extend his contract, with a desired fee of approximately £50m.
Nevertheless, Liverpool remains optimistic about negotiating a deal valued at around £45m to acquire the England international as they aim to replace Jarrel Quansah, who is anticipated to join Bayer Leverkusen following the Under-21 European Championships.
Guehi has already expressed to his close friends and family his desire to transfer to Anfield to contend for trophies and participate in the Champions League, and it is believed that personal terms will not pose any difficulties.
Additionally, Liverpool continues to seek a new central striker, while it is anticipated that several players will depart this summer, with Darwin Nunez being the most likely to leave amid discussions with Serie A champions Napoli.
