Liverpool are set to rival Newcastle United for Marc Guehi, but Crystal Palace’s £60 million demand could complicate matters.
Football Insider reckon Liverpool are ready to battle Newcastle United for Marc Guehi. The Crystal Palace defender has impressed during his two seasons at Selhurst Park and put himself in the market for elite clubs in the Premier League. The Eagles want over £60 million to part ways with the English international.
It was quite surprising that Marc Guehi took two years to feature on the radars of top English clubs. Having signed a deal worth a reported £20 million from Chelsea two years ago, the defender has become a leader at Selhurst Park.
He also has become a fixed member of the England national squad and is likely to feature regularly. Hence, interest from top clubs is only natural for Guehi to consider, and Crystal Palace remain aware of the many suitors.
Liverpool are among a host of top English teams chasing the 22-year-old as Jurgen Klopp eyes a solid defensive addition. After strengthening their midfield sufficiently with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, a new centre-back is firmly on the agenda.
Guehi seems like a solid option considering his vast experience in the Premier League and his relatively young age. The only concern for Liverpool or competitors like Newcastle United would come through Palace’s asking price, which reportedly is set at £60 million or more.
Liverpool might not look to cough up such a fee for the £60 million-rated English international, but neither would Newcastle. The Magpies have some of the best financial backing through owners among all teams and might be able to afford Guehi at that price.
However, Newcastle United have remained cautious over their approach for players and have walked away from many deals that tend to become overpriced. Hence, the Tyneside outfit might look to negotiate with Palace over the fee if their interest becomes serious or they move on to other targets.
With that, Liverpool and Newcastle United are among the sides keen on Goncalo Inacio, who remains keen to join a Premier League side in this window. Whether that is one of the two mentioned clubs remains the question. But the Portuguese defender is surely a top option for both.
As for Guehi, he has a long, promising career ahead, which would attract more interest in the current and future windows. At present, Palace can negotiate a high fee for the £60 million-rated English international and may not cave over demands to accept less.
