Liverpool have reportedly agreed personal terms with former Chelsea defender Marc Guehi. The Reds are working on a deal with Crystal Palace to sign the Englishman this summer.
As per a report by DavOCKOP, Guehi is ready to join Liverpool this summer and has even agreed terms with the Anfield side. The centre-back is seen as the ideal signing to reinforce a squad that won the Premier League title last season.
Crystal Palace are prepared to sell their club captain, who has not signed an extension, with his current deal running down next year. They had reportedly rejected a £70 million bid from Newcastle United last summer, but will now let him leave to avoid losing him on a free next summer.
Newcastle United reportedly remain interested in Guehi, but the former Chelsea man prefers a move to Anfield. He is seen as a solid addition after Jarell Quansah’s departure, while Ibrahima Konate’s future also hangs in the balance.
Former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson spoke to AceOdds in June this year, and opined that Marc Guehi would be the ideal replacement for Ibrahima Konate at Liverpool. He urged the Reds to sell the Frenchman this summer if he did not sign a new deal, with his contract expiring next year. He said:
Speaking about Guehi, Johnson added:
Chelsea sold Guehi to Crystal Palace in 2021 for a reported £18 million and have a 20% sell-on clause on his contract.
