LIVERPOOL will make a £40million ‘take-it-or-leave it’ offer to Crystal Palace for defender Marc Guehi.
And that should have a great chance of landing the centre-half, who turns 25 today andhas always held a big interest in going to Anfield.
Liverpool are set to bid a first, and final, offer of £40million for Marc GuehiGuehi was the Eagles’ star attraction as the club launched their new kit yesterday, but champions want to see him in their famous red.
The FA Cup-winning skipper is now in the last year of his contract and would take the move despite , and Newcastle all being keen.
Guehi, who played 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Millwall yesterday, has never made a fuss over previous bids.
And he will allow the clubs to sort out the fee without agitating.
Insiders say Guehi is one of the most down-to-earth players and football is his priority over finance.
Guehi is still on the five-year deal he signed when joining from Chelsea in 2021, ignoring new contracts and waiting for the right step up, with the Reds a favourite.
Palace are not interested in swaps, despite the Kop’s highly-rated Ben Doak, 19, and others being potentially available, as they need the cash to land replacements.
Boss Oliver Glasner wants Palace chiefs to deliver TWO new defenders â and that will be a challenge.
Sporting’s Ousmane Diomande, 21, is Glasner’s first choice but the Ivory Coast international is also in the same £40m range.
That would mean the second newcomer has to be a loan â with a likely move to land Portugal star Tiago Djalo, 25, from Juventus.
Palace are reeling from Uefa booting them out of the Europa League into the Conference because John Textor has a stake in both their club and French rivals Lyon.
The demotion will also impact their budget â but the Eagles will appeal.
