Liverpool Growing in Confidence Over Marc Guehi Transfer

Liverpool are hopeful they can sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. Talks are ongoing, and Liverpool want to complete the deal before the transfer window ends.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Liverpool have made Guehi their main target. Reports say they are willing to pay £25 million for the England centre-back, although Crystal Palace want around £30 million plus add-ons. The team believes a deal is close.

If terms are agreed, Liverpool will arrange a medical in London. However, there is still work to be done as the window is about to close.

Some sources say it’s 50-50 whether the deal gets done in time. But Liverpool’s confidence is growing as deadline day approaches, especially considering Guehi wants to join Liverpool before the transfer window closes.

GUARDING THE DEFENCE: LIVERPOOL AND PALACE THIS SEASON

Liverpool have started the Premier League season with determination. They want to build on last year’s strong Champions League campaign, having won 1-0 against Arsenal at Anfield. Currently, Liverpool has 9 points from three matches, just two ahead of Chelsea.

They badly need defensive reinforcements; injuries have stretched the squad. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are in the top half with five points from three games. Losing Guehi would be a huge blow for Palace, who have relied on his performances at the back. He has played every minute for Palace this season and scored a goal in a recent match, reflecting his importance to the team.

LATEST FIXTURES AND WHAT NEXT?

Liverpool will play Burnley next time after the international break. Burnley are in the lower half with one win and two losses so far. This game is important for Liverpool as they aim to stay as leaders.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, will host Sunderland, who are 5th – a difficult test. Both Liverpool and Palace need every point. The outcome of the Guehi saga could shape both teams’ seasons. If Guehi joins Liverpool, he could become key in their trophy chase.
