Even though Liverpool has had two months to prepare under Arne Slot, as we approach the final few weeks of the transfer window, the club has yet not added any players to its roster. However, Marc Guehi, a defender for Crystal Palace who is regarded as exceptional, may be the next Dutch manager’s primary target. Alan Nixon has suggested that the Reds may rival Newcastle United in their pursuit of Guehi with a move of £75 million.
The departures of Thiago, Adrian, and Joel Matip on free transfers have left a void in the team’s roster; Fabio Carvalho is the sole returning star following his loan spell at Hull; therefore, additional talent is needed. That includes Guehi, who might be the target of a trade.

According to the report, Liverpool is prepared to enter the bidding war for Palace star Guehi. Newcastle is believed to have been leading the race for the England player. Should Liverpool’s bid be successful, Newcastle may receive a further boost in the future when they acquire Joe Gomez in exchange for Anthony Gordon joining Anfield.
In the event that both Liverpool and Newcastle make offers for Guehi, Palace is expected to demand a whopping £75 million for the player, with Guehi reportedly preferring a transfer to Merseyside. While Newcastle has placed an inquiry, the Reds are waiting to hear back on the cost of his services.
