Crystal Palace is reportedly seeking £40 million for Marc Guehi, with Liverpool star Conor Bradley being mentioned as a potential part of a swap deal, although Guehi’s swap isn’t ruled out. Liverpool’s interest in Guehi stems from their need for a top-class center-back, especially with Virgil van Dijk’s potential departure looming.

Transfer Details

– Liverpool’s Pursuit: Liverpool has been actively pursuing Guehi, with talks between the player’s representatives and the club reportedly going well. Guehi has agreed to personal terms with Liverpool, and the Reds are working on reaching a club-to-club agreement.
– Transfer Fee: Crystal Palace values Guehi at around £45-50 million, while Liverpool has offered £20 million, leaving a significant gap between the two parties. The transfer fee is expected to be at least £58 million.
– Guehi’s Preference: Guehi has expressed his desire to join Liverpool, and the club’s interest in him has intensified following Jarell Quansah’s departure to Bayer Leverkusen ¹ ².

Potential Impact on Both Clubs

– Liverpool’s Defensive Strengthening: Signing Guehi would significantly bolster Liverpool’s defense, providing a long-term solution to their center-back needs.
– Crystal Palace’s Finances: Selling Guehi would provide Crystal Palace with a substantial transfer fee, which they could use to fund new signings and strengthen their squad.

Other Interested Clubs

– Newcastle United: Newcastle had previously bid for Guehi but were rejected. They may try to revisit their interest this summer.
– Chelsea: Chelsea has a 20% sell-on clause in Guehi’s transfer and might be interested in re-signing him.
– Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs have also shown interest in Guehi, but Liverpool seems to be the favorite to sign him ¹ ².
