In a stunning twist to transfer deadline day, Liverpool have launched an ambitious last-gasp bid to prise England international Marc Guehi away from Crystal Palace.
The audacious move, confirmed by multiple sources, signals a potential marquee signing for the Reds as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the second half of the season.
Guehi, a cornerstone of Palace's backline and a regular in Gareth Southgate's England squads, has emerged as a primary target for Jurgen Klopp. The 23-year-old centre-back is admired for his composure on the ball, strong aerial presence, and leadership qualities, making him an ideal fit for Liverpool's high defensive line.
However, the deal faces significant hurdles. Crystal Palace value their prized asset at a fee in excess of £50 million, a substantial investment for any club on the final day of the window. Furthermore, the Eagles are notoriously reluctant sellers and would be left with precious little time to find a suitable replacement.
The potential transfer has sent shockwaves through the Premier League, with fans eagerly watching to see if Liverpool can pull off what would be one of the coups of the January window. Securing Guehi's signature would represent a major statement of intent from the Merseyside club.
All eyes are now on the London club's boardroom as the clock ticks down towards the 11pm deadline. Will Liverpool's late charge be enough to secure their man?
