Liverpool is looking for a new center-back and focuses on a young defender to replace Jarrell Quansah, who has joined Bayer Leverkusen, but are enthusiastic about English Center-back Marc Guehi as the price is good but now his spurs in motion
Liverpool will be confronted with competition from Tottenham if they decide to pursue a movement for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. The Reds are expected to continue to publish while Hugo Ekitike is on Tuesday for a medical jets to complete a £ 79 million from Eintracht Frankfurt.
And a defender could be the following on the list of palace defender Guehi admired in Anfield. But Spurs has now registered their interest and this season can also offer the English International Champions League football after their Europa League success.
Guehi, 25, only has one year left on his contract in Palace, but it is not known whether the defender wants to continue. Spurs tried to sign him in January, but an offer in the late £ 70 million was rejected by the Eagles.
Liverpool follows the situation after the sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for £ 35 million this summer. But they will only go to Guehi if the price is good and that is less than the £ 50 million that has been suggested that the Eagles would take for their captain this summer.
Spurs is perhaps more inclined to hit the £ 50 million after struggling so much defensively last season when Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven struggled with injuries.
Liverpool spends almost £ 300 million with Ekitike inside and another attacker is also on the list when Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz both leave. They do not want to sell Diaz, despite the fact that Bayern Munich prepares a second bid for the Colombia wing player, but are more open to close a deal for Nunez.
Ekitike, 23, lands today in Merseyside. The Reds initially pay £ 69 million with a further £ 10 million in ADD -ONS, with the added costs for club and player performance about the length of his contract.
Liverpool wants to agree a six -year contract with the player to keep him in Anfield until 2031. Those details still have to be completed, but they will be U21 International once in France arrives at MerseSide.
Liverpool players and employees are on their way to the Far East to continue their first stop their preparations for the season with Hong Kong. But medical staff and sports director Richard Hughes stay on the club's training field to complete the relocation of Ekitike.
The player flies to Asia as soon as the deal is completed to meet his new teammates.
Newcastle pulled himself out of the race for Ekitike last week as soon as the player told them that he was preferred to move to Liverpool. The Magpies had rejected an £ 70 million offer, but they had a shortage of the add-ons for which Frankfurt insisted.
