Liverpool are making waves in the summer transfer market with a bold move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, as new head coach Arne Slot targets his first major defensive reinforcement at Anfield.
Record-Breaking Bid in the Works
The Merseyside giants are preparing to test Crystal Palace's resolve with a substantial £60 million offer for the England international. This potential deal would represent one of Liverpool's most significant defensive investments in recent years, signalling Slot's intent to build from the back.
Guehi has emerged as a primary target following his impressive performances at Selhurst Park, where he's established himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable defenders. His ball-playing ability and commanding presence perfectly align with Slot's tactical philosophy.
Competition Heats Up for England Star
Liverpool aren't alone in their pursuit, with several top clubs monitoring the 23-year-old's situation. However, the Reds believe their project under Slot and their Champions League status could give them the edge in what promises to be a fiercely contested transfer battle.
The potential acquisition comes at a crucial time for Liverpool, who are looking to refresh their defensive options after several key departures and with Virgil van Dijk entering the latter stages of his career.
What Guehi Would Bring to Anfield
- Premier League proven quality at just 23 years old
- England international experience
- Excellent ball distribution and reading of the game
- Leadership qualities despite his young age
- Long-term solution for Liverpool's central defence
With pre-season preparations underway, Liverpool are keen to move quickly to secure their primary targets, and Guehi appears to be at the top of Slot's wishlist as he shapes his new-look squad for the challenges ahead.
