Liverpool are reportedly still in pole position to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, despite competition from several Premier League rivals.<\/p>\n
The England international has impressed at Selhurst Park but is entering the final months of his contract, meaning he could leave as a free agent at the end of the season.<\/p>\n
That situation has opened the door for multiple clubs to make a move. Journalist Graeme Bailey previously told TBR Football that Manchester United were ready to rival Liverpool for his signature after the Reds missed out on him last summer, while Tottenham Hotspur have also recently been linked as potential frontrunners.<\/p>\n
However, according to Indy Kaila, Guehi remains determined to join Liverpool, having long admired the club and its project under Arne Slot.<\/p>\n
Marc Guehi transfer: What lies ahead?<\/p>\n
A move to Anfield could make sense for both sides. Liverpool may soon need defensive reinforcements, with Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 approaching the final stages of his deal and Virgil van Dijk entering the later years of his career.<\/p>\n
Guehi, 25, would also fit well at Manchester United, who are reportedly keen to strengthen their back line amid concerns over Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, and Lisandro Mart\u00ednez\u2019s injury record.<\/p>\n
Former United striker Louis Saha even urged his former club to act quickly, telling the Manchester Evening News:<\/p>\n
> \u201cMarc Guehi is definitely a top player and a leader. I love him as a player. If Man Utd can hijack the deal to Liverpool, even by paying \u00a320 million more, do it. He\u2019s consistent, reliable, and communicates well \u2014 he\u2019ll definitely be part of a big team competing for major trophies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite growing competition, all signs suggest that Guehi\u2019s heart is still firmly set on Liverpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
