Liverpool move closer to signing Crystal Palace's Guehi

Liverpool are ready to accelerate their move for Marc Guehi following the confirmed departure of Jarell Quansah. The centre-back has long been on the Reds' radar, and with one major outgoing now finalised, the Merseyside club are poised to take the next step in their pursuit.

The £35 million sale of Quansah has freed up both funds and space in Arne Slot's defensive ranks, making Guehi the primary target to fill the void. The England international, who has impressed with his consistency and leadership at Palace, is seen as a natural fit for the club's evolving back line.

Club sources suggest formal negotiations could advance quickly, with the 24-year-old reportedly open to the move as he looks to take the next step in his career.

Should the deal go through, it would mark another significant investment by Liverpool this summer, underlining their intent to reinforce key areas with Premier League-proven talent as they reshape the squad under new management.
