Liverpool preparing player-plus-cash offer to land 24-year-old summer transfer target

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and could include young winger Ben Doak as part of a player-plus-cash offer.

As per Express, the Reds are keen to land the 24-year-old England international, though it’s unclear if Crystal Palace would agree to a deal involving a player exchange. Guehi, who has impressed at Selhurst Park, would bolster Liverpool’s backline—especially with Jarell Quansah set to join Bayer Leverkusen and Joe Gomez’s ongoing injury struggles.

With Guehi entering the final year of his contract, Palace are under pressure to sell now rather than risk losing him for free next summer. Still, they are demanding around £50 million, a valuation Liverpool are reluctant to meet outright given the contract situation—hence their interest in a swap deal.

Doak, who spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, is unlikely to break into Liverpool’s first team and would benefit from a permanent move. A switch to Palace could offer him more consistent game time, potentially making this a mutually beneficial deal if the two clubs can reach an agreement.
