Marc Guehi has been linked with a move from Crystal Palace for the past few months.
Liverpool and Barcelona are interested in the player, but the player wants to join Liverpool. TEAMtalk reports that the 25-year-old defender has dreamed of playing for Liverpool since he was a child and is “very keen” to join the club.
This development will be a blow to Barcelona, which had been hoping to sign the player. Meanwhile, it is no secret that Liverpool need more quality in their defence. The England international could improve them significantly. Ibrahima Konate will leave the club when his contract expires, but he has not yet signed an extension with Liverpool. The Crystal Palace star could be the ideal replacement for the France international.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can agree a deal for the player in the coming weeks. There are rumors that Liverpool could sign the player in January for a nominal fee, rather than waiting until the summer to sign him on a free.
Liverpool have looked very mediocre defensively this season and need to strengthen in that area of the pitch. Signing Guehi in January would be a wise move. Liverpool have looked very mediocre defensively this season and need to strengthen in that area of the pitch. Signing Guehi could help get the season back on track.
Barcelona will also need to improve defensively. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to other targets, especially with the 25-year-old wanting to join Liverpool instead. The Premier League side also has more financial power than the Spanish champions. They will be favorites to close the deal.
