Report: In order to finalize the signing, Liverpool needs to agree on a £65 million cost.
Liverpool must finalize a £65m deal to secure the signing, according to a report.
Liverpool have been linked with several top center-backs, with Marc Guehi once again in the spotlight.
The Merseyside club tried to bring in the England international during the previous summer transfer window but decided to focus on strengthening their midfield instead of signing a defender.
In January, Liverpool prioritized signing the Crystal Palace defender to replace Joel Matip, who is set to leave the club at the end of the month.
With Matip’s departure imminent, Liverpool has renewed their interest in securing Guehi.
British media reports highlight that Liverpool will need to agree to a substantial fee of £65m to secure the talented Eagles star.
The Daily Mail has reported that Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham are closely monitoring Guehi’s situation.
Taking into account the significant valuation of Jarrad Branthwaite, Palace has set a £65m price tag on their prized asset, especially given his participation in the European Championships for England, which sets him apart from the Everton star.
Additionally, The Telegraph has stated that Liverpool is interested in signing the Ivory Coast-born defender.
It’s worth noting that Guehi’s current contract at Selhurst Park expires in 2026.
According to the report, Palace wants him to commit to an extension and will not entertain offers below £65m this summer.
Guehi faced injury setbacks last season, missing a few months due to a knee issue. Nonetheless, when healthy, he showcased his defensive prowess for the London club.
During the Euros’ initial group match, he partnered with John Stones in the center of defense, helping England secure a clean sheet against Serbia (1-0).
