"Liverpool are reportedly switching their focus away from Crystal Palace central defender Marc Guehi and onto his teammate Maxence Lacroix. The Reds are in the market for signings at the back, and notably missed out on Guehi late on in the summer transfer window. Guehi is now also on Tottenham's radar, so it could be wise for Liverpool to look at other options, and it seems Lacroix has really impressed their scouts."
"Arne Slot's side have not had the most convincing start to the season, with the team conceding a lot of goals. Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 last weekend, and the Merseyside giants also conceded two goals in games against Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Atletico Madrid. Virgil van Dijk isn't getting any younger, and Konate might be unsettled as he nears the end of his contract, so Lacroix could end up being a really important signing to help this team tighten up at the back."
Liverpool have moved their defensive transfer focus from Marc Guehi to Maxence Lacroix, with scouts reportedly impressed by the 25-year-old and describing him as a high-quality centre-back. Guehi is also attracting interest from Tottenham, which may have prompted Liverpool to consider alternatives. Liverpool face defensive uncertainty with Ibrahima Konate approaching the end of his contract and Virgil van Dijk ageing, alongside a run of matches in which the team conceded multiple goals. Crystal Palace are in strong form under Oliver Glasner, which could make Palace reluctant to sell a key player like Lacroix despite Liverpool's interest.
