Liverpool is reassured that a deal for Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace will happen, despite the fact that the clubs are said to be some distance apart in their valuations of the defender
Liverpool has received hope in their pursuit of Marc Guehi after a statement that a deal will probably be closed before the summer transfer window is closed. The Reds have started discussions with Crystal Palace about bringing the defender to Anfield.
However, the two clubs must be over a prize, with considerable inequality between the appreciation of Liverpool and what the Eagles are demanding. Palace wants £ 45 million for the center of the center, while the Premier League champions hold on to their range of £ 35 million, leaving a gap of £ 10 million behind.
Rumors about the future of Guehi, who is located in Selhurst Park in the last year of his contract, occurred during the weekend. It followed claims that the 25-year-old palace boss Oliver Glasner gave the cold shoulder on the field after their scoreless draw with Chelsea in the Premier League, although this has since been rejected as a misunderstanding.
Ex-Manchester United and Wrexham-shot stopper Ben Foster is convinced that the move from Guehi to Liverpool will occur, despite the difference in appreciation between the two clubs. However, the former international English international has criticized the approach of the player of the situation and accuses him to throw a noose to force the move.
On his Fozcast -Podcast Foster said: “It is terrible and you know that something big is going on behind the scenes. I would expect that Mark Guehi will sign up for Liverpool in the coming week.
“I would really do that, because that is a very public fight. That is the way it goes today. It is clear that the only way is to get a movement by throwing your toys out of the pram.”
Guehi has more than 100 Premier League performances to his name, with Liverpool that it was assumed to strengthen the center of their backline. His future was addressed by Glasner during the week, in addition to that of Ebereechi Eze, who seems ready to join Arsenal after taking Tottenham.
“Most of you will be surprised that they will start again tomorrow because of all the rumors,” said Glasner. “But they are dedicated here and they will play a crucial role.”
Tackling questions about his relationship with Guehi, he added: “I saw so much nonsense about this. Marc was upset that he did not win the game and I thought this was great. It is the best sign he could show how ambitious we are.”
Despite the comments from Glasner, Palace reportedly explores potential successors for Guehi. The Eagles have placed Club Brugge Center-back Joel Ordonez on their radar, while they also have a sharp interest in the sporty CPs Ousmane Diomande.
Earlier this month, Palace Steve Parish's co-owner admitted that there was a possibility that Guehi could be sold in the summer.
Speaking after the community shield at Wembley, he said: “Yes. Of course, for players of that caliber to leave for a free, it is a problem for a football club. There is no doubt about it.
“Joachim [Andersen] Went and we couldn't afford to lose them both. We still had an offer in January, but that was also a difficult situation. We will just have to see what happens. It needs a new contract or a kind of conclusion. “
