"Liverpool are being tipped to have the chance to go back in for Crystal Palace central defender Marc Guehi for around 40-50m this January. The England international was a top target for the Reds during the summer, and a deal came very close to going through before Palace cancelled it late on. CaughtOffside understands that Liverpool remain confident of signing Guehi when he becomes a free agent next summer."
"It's above the fee Liverpool were willing to pay, but 35million in the summer is different to 35million when you're half way through the season and relying on your captain. So it'll take a bit of a bigger offer to get it done, but if somebody told you you could sign England's first-choice centre-back for 40million in this market, you'd snap their hand off, it's a bargain."
Marc Guehi is a Crystal Palace central defender and an England international. Liverpool targeted Guehi in the summer and came close to a £35m move before Palace cancelled the deal. Former scout Mick Brown says Palace could accept about £40–50m for Guehi in January if a club pushes, noting midseason fees demand more when a club relies on its captain. Liverpool remain confident of signing Guehi as a free agent next summer. Liverpool may be reluctant to pay above the previous £35m offer, but defensive struggles this season could make a January purchase worth the premium.
