Liverpool has already splashed the money in the transfer window this summer and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi could be set to become their latest signature with big money
Liverpool is growing in the confidence that they could close a sensational late deal for Marc Guehi. The Reds chased the English man throughout the summer as a replacement for Jarrell Quansah, who completed a relocation of £ 35 million to Bayer Leverkusen.
Guehi is from the contract next summer and leaves Crystal Palace in a vulnerable position. Eagles chairman Steve Parish strives to receive around £ 40 million if they choose to sell, although Liverpool wants to negotiate for that price.
As it looks now, Liverpool is the only club that seriously strives for Guehi for Monday's deadline, but Manchester City could be seen if the defender were available to leave next summer.
Palace rejected £ 70 million for Guehi from Newcastle last summer, but Parish recently admitted that his side could be forced to cash in unlike getting nothing. He said: “Of course we should do that.
“For players of that caliber to leave for free, it is unfortunately a problem for us. Joachim [Andersen] went [to Fulham last summer] And we couldn't afford to lose both.
“We still had an offer then [for Guehi] In January, but that was a different situation. We just have to see what happens. But you know, it needs a new contract or a kind of conclusion. “
Palace will make a decision about the future of Guehi as soon as the Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday with Fredrikstad is avoided. But they are already looking for possible replacements.
Guehi, 25, came to Palace from Chelsea in 2021 for a reported £ 18 million that was on loan at Swansea City. He has made 158 performances for the club and helped the side to win the FA Cup last season.
Guehi could possibly be the second controversial exit from Selhurst Park this summer after £ 67.5 million relocation from Ebereechi Eze to Arsenal. In the meantime, Liverpool not only has the defender in their sights.

Reds Chiefs also want a stunning move for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak before the Deadline of Monday. Newcastle remains determined to keep him, albeit the clear conversations before the defeat of the weekend against Liverpool did not produce a resolution.
If those two deals continue, it would cost Liverpool's summer expenses up to slightly less than £ 450 million. The side of Arne Slot is back in action this weekend while taking Title Rivals Arsenal in Anfield.
