Liverpool and Man United battle for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi

Liverpool is aiming to strengthen their defence under new manager Arne Slot, and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi has caught their attention. However, they face tough competition from other top Premier League clubs.

Reports suggest that Liverpool and Manchester United are preparing summer bids for the 24-year-old defender. Guehi, who struggled at Chelsea but found success at Palace, has become a key player for both his club and the England national team. He has played 121 league games and helped keep 29 clean sheets.

Other clubs, including Newcastle and Tottenham, are also interested. Tottenham even offered £70 million in January, but Palace rejected the bid. Guehi’s speed and aggressive playing style have earned him praise from former England interim manager Lee Carsley.

Liverpool’s interest in the player could increase if Virgil van Dijk does not renew his contract. Even if Van Dijk stays, Liverpool will need a strong defender for the future, making Guehi a great choice.

Meanwhile, Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, is also looking to strengthen his defence, as some of his current defenders have not fully met expectations.

Guehi’s reliability and experience make him an attractive option. Signing him could be a smart move for Liverpool, as he has proven himself in the Premier League and could provide the defensive strength the team needs.
