Liverpool have ‘no plans’ to meet Marc Guehi price tag | OneFootball

Liverpool have no plans to meet Crystal Palace’s current asking price of around £50m for Marc Guehi.

The Premier League champions are interested in a deal to sign the defender but are not prepared to meet the current price tag.

Guehi has been targeted as a replacement for Jarell Quansah, who is set to sign for Bayer Leverkusen in a £34m deal.

The former has just 12 months to run on his contract at Palace and Liverpool will not pay over the odds for the England international. Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United are also interested in Guehi, while Tottenham Hotspur had an offer turned down in January.

Journalist Ben Jacobs has claimed Liverpool value Guehi at ‘well south’ of £50m. The Reds are reportedly seeking a deal for around £30m.

If Palace are reluctant to lower their expectations, Liverpool will move on to alternative targets. Guehi, meanwhile, hasn’t ruled out seeing out the final season of his contract.

The 24-year-old wants assurances over his minutes next season with the 2026 World Cup looming. A free transfer exit next summer would also grant him an extensive list of potential clubs.

Liverpool also like Ajax defender Jorrel Hato and are targeting a youthful centre-back to provide cover, and eventually competition, for Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

The latter has also entered the final 12 months of his deal at Anfield and has been linked with Real Madrid. Discussions are ongoing over a new deal for the France international.
