Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi has reached a critical stage, with negotiations now centered on key things that could dictate whether the deal is completed before the transfer window closes.

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is setting his sights on Liverpool as a potential destination if he departs Selhurst Park this summer. The Reds are said to be in ongoing discussions with Palace for the 25-year-old centre-back, who is believed to be eager to make the switch to Anfield.

Marc Guehi looks set to join Liverpool this summer with 12 months left on his Palace deal but Tim Sherwood reckons Chelsea should swoop in.

Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.

Virgil Van Dijk leaned on his experience to effectively defend open spaces with the absence of a true defensive midfielder ahead of the back four, but as the full-backs bombed on and the midfield was vacated, it was his Liverpool team-mate Ibrahima Konate who looked to struggle with the vast acres of Anfield grass he had to cover.

Marc Guehi will be available to play for Liverpool in the Champions League should he make a move to Anfield - despite being poised to feature for Crystal Palace in Europe. Guehi will line up for Palace in their first-ever major European tie when they entertain Fredrisktad of Norway in their Conference League play-off first leg on Thursday evening.

Diario AS previously reported that Real Madrid’s interest may hinge on Liverpool lowering its asking price. The Spanish club reportedly values Konaté between €20 million and €25 million, while Liverpool are holding out for closer to €50 million.

Guehi and Glasner, who have kept close communication throughout the summer despite the prospect of the 25-year-old leaving Selhurst Park, remain on good terms.
