Liverpool are plotting a £65 million bid for high class Premier League defender. The player is top target of Chelsea who are keen to improve their backline.
The Blues are have a good season offensively but their defence is still not up to the mark. They are very likely to enter the transfer market in search of world class defenders. As of now, many names have been linked with them.
One of the top targets of Chelsea is their former player Marc Guehi. Guehi has improved a lot since joining Crystal Palace and is now one of the best defenders in England. He is also a regular player for England national team.
The Blues are keen to sign Guehi considering his age, quality and experience. Palace are open to selling as the player will be out of contract in 2026. Chelsea can make move in January itself but are joined by their English rivals in the race.
Liverpool plotting £65 million bid for Marc Guehi
According to Fichajes, the Reds are planning to submit a £65 million bid for Guehi in January. Earlier, it was also reported that the 24 year old is interested to join Liverpool.
Virgil van Dijk who is club captain will be out of contract at the end of the season. There are no talks reported yet about the extension. Even if he extends, he will soon need replacement as he will be 34 years old in July.
In addition, Joe Gomez and Konate are both sidelined right now with injuries. This suggests that the club will make some moves in January window to find solutions for ongoing problems. In addition, they also had a quiet transfer window in summer.
On the other hand, Chelsea do have other options available in market. Tomas Araujo of Benfica is their top target but he has £83 million release clause mentioned in his contract. The Portugese club wants that clause to be paid fully.
