Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, with the England international said to favour a move to Anfield. According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Palace are demanding between £35 million and £40 million for the 25-year-old this month, as his contract expires in the summer.
Guehi's preference is to see out his contract in London, but Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are named as potential suitors. Manchester City are also considering a move for the defender to address their own injury problems. Guehi's proposed summer switch to Liverpool fell through after Palace pulled out of the deal.
Meanwhile, Tottenham's Micky van de Ven is reportedly 'dreaming' of a move to Liverpool, according to Caught Offside. The 24-year-old Dutchman has become a key player for Spurs, but the club's struggles this season may prompt him to seek a transfer. Liverpool are expected to target defensive reinforcements, with Ibrahima Konate likely to leave at the end of the season and Virgil van Dijk entering the final year of his contract.
In other news, Roma left-back Kostas Tsimikas could return to Liverpool after a disappointing loan spell in Serie A. The Greek international has made only 10 appearances for Roma, and the Italian club are reportedly looking for a replacement, with Jaouen Hadjam among the candidates.
