According to an exclusive story covered by Football Insider, Liverpool are ready to battle PL rivals to hire the services of the 22-year-old center half.

The young defender, who was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, was impressive at the back for the Eagles in the last campaign.

The news source have mentioned that the Selhurst Park outfit are going to ask for £60m+ bids to part ways with Guehi.

It is reported that the above mentioned asking price will make it difficult for the Anfield club and other suitors to complete the deal.

In the last campaign, Guehi featured in 37 Premier League games for Palace and helped the team keep 9 clean sheet keep watching

Back in March 2022, he made his debut for England and so far, he has made four appearances under the management of Gareth Southgate.

Last month, the defender featured for full ninety minutes in the Euro 2024 qualification fixture against Malta that the Three Lions went onto win 4-0.

In your view, who should Jurgen Klopp sign to strengthen the defense at Anfield?

Liverpool have wasted no time at all in getting their business done in the summer transfer window and have already made the signing of two exciting young midfielders with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai joining the squad for next season.

The Reds failed to maintain their high standards both in the Premier League and on the European stage last season which left many supporters hoping that the club would look to iron out the issues and uninspiring performances by acquiring fresh talent.

Indeed, the Anfield faithful will be thrilled with the signing of the two attacking-minded midfielders, however, there is still plenty of work to be done to bring the team back to life and deliver on the expectations that have been set over Jurgen Klopp’s tenure so far.

The Athletic’s Liverpool reporter James Pearce claimed in an article this week that the club are no longer making the signing of a third midfielder a priority and instead are more likely to focus on bringing in a centre-back who can inject some youth into the defensive set-up.

Both Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are well into their 30s at this point with the latter set to be out of contract at the end of next season, so there is a real opportunity to strengthen the personnel and provide Ibrahima Konate with another young prospect to work alongside as part of the long-term future of the team.

One player who has been linked with a move to Merseyside this week is Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

How much is Marc Guehi?

A talented centre-back who has been going from strength to strength over the last two seasons, the Englishman has become a huge asset to the South London club.

Football Insider report that Liverpool are interested in signing Guehi this summer, however, Palace will command a whopping £60m fee to part ways with their defensive prodigy.
