Liverpool are being urged to make a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer, with Reds legend Jamie Carragher highlighting the England international as a perfect fit for Arne Slot's squad.
Guehi, who has impressed for both Palace and Gareth Southgate's national team, is seen as a potential solution to Liverpool's defensive needs. Carragher believes the 23-year-old could be the ideal long-term partner for Virgil van Dijk.
Carragher's Strong Recommendation
The former Liverpool defender told The Mirror: "I think Guehi would be a great signing. He's proven himself in the Premier League and with England. At his age, he could be a mainstay in Liverpool's defence for years to come."
Slot's Defensive Reinforcement Plans
New Liverpool boss Arne Slot is reportedly keen to strengthen his backline this summer, with Guehi emerging as a prime target. The Dutch manager wants to build a squad capable of challenging on all fronts next season.
Guehi's composure on the ball and leadership qualities have made him one of the most sought-after young defenders in English football. His potential arrival at Anfield would represent a significant statement of intent from the Merseyside club.
Competition for Signature
Liverpool may face competition from other top clubs for Guehi's signature, with several Premier League rivals also monitoring the situation. However, the prospect of regular Champions League football could give the Reds an advantage in any potential bidding war.
Palace are expected to demand a substantial fee for their prized asset, with valuations likely to exceed £50 million for the former Chelsea academy product.
