Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and Newcastle United are set to go head-to-head in a high-stakes transfer battle for Crystal Palace's defensive rock Marc Guehi this summer.
The 23-year-old England international has emerged as one of the most sought-after centre-backs in English football following his impressive performances for Palace and the Three Lions.
Big-Money Move on the Cards
With a hefty £60 million price tag attached to the talented defender, both clubs will need to dig deep to secure Guehi's signature. The former Chelsea academy product has established himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable defenders since joining Palace in 2021.
Liverpool's Defensive Rebuild
Liverpool's interest comes as new manager Arne Slot looks to strengthen his backline following the departure of Joel Matip. Guehi's composure on the ball and leadership qualities make him an ideal candidate to partner Virgil van Dijk in the Reds' defence.
Newcastle's Ambitious Plans
Meanwhile, Newcastle are determined to bolster their squad as they aim to return to European competition. Eddie Howe sees Guehi as the perfect addition to build a more robust defence capable of challenging on multiple fronts.
The transfer saga is set to dominate headlines throughout the summer window, with Palace reluctant to lose their star man but potentially powerless if either club meets their valuation.
