Liverpool have opened talks with Crystal Palace over the signing of England defender Marc Guehi, with the Reds confident the player wants to join.
Palace value Guehi at £40m, but Liverpool are unwilling to overpay as the 24-year-old enters the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park. The club will only begin personal talks if a transfer fee is agreed.
Liverpool’s hierarchy maintain a strong relationship with Palace chairman Steve Parish and are keen to handle negotiations respectfully. Parish has admitted he may be forced to sell Guehi if no new contract is signed.
