One dependable journalist has concurrently handed encouragement and issued a cautionary be aware to Liverpool concerning a pursuit of Marc Guehi.
Fabrizio Romano has indicated that the Reds will ‘quickly’ decide on whether or not or to not launch a bid for the Crystal Palace defender this month, one thing that ex-Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown believes will occur.
The 25-year-old is into the ultimate 12 months of his contract at Selhurst Park, and BBC reporter Sami Mokbel claimed final week that ‘there are not any indicators’ of the participant extending that deal, though plainly he may but decide to the Eagles.
What’s the newest on Marc Guehi?
On Tuesday afternoon, The Guardian author Ed Aarons took to X with an replace on Guehi, who could be glad to remain put with the FA Cup holders however would favor to affix Liverpool over Newcastle, who may probably return in for him after seeing big-money provides rejected for him over the previous 12 months.
The journalist posted: ‘Perceive Crystal Palace but to obtain provides for Marc Guehi, who is alleged to be glad to remain at Selhurst Park and see out ultimate 12 months of his contract.

Liverpool can’t let Guehi be a part of a direct rival
If Guehi finally decides to stay at Selhurst Park, or if the Eagles handle to fend off any potential suitors for him, that’d be disappointing for Liverpool however would no less than nonetheless be tolerable.
Nonetheless, if the Reds fail to do sufficient to stop him from becoming a member of a Premier League rival in Newcastle, that’d represent a big blot on the Anfield hierarchy’s copybook, particularly with Arne Slot’s squad badly in want of centre-back reinforcement.
LFC aren’t ready to hold tight and attempt to get the England worldwide on a free switch subsequent 12 months, not with solely three pure senior central defenders on the membership (together with the presently injured Joe Gomez and the exit-linked Ibrahima Konate).
All issues thought of, £40m is nicely value paying for Guehi, who’d not solely give Liverpool some much-needed strengthening in a threadbare a part of the squad, however would additionally contribute in the direction of our homegrown quota and supply an assured, Premier League-proven choice with a observe file for excelling on the large stage.
It’d be baffling for sporting director Richard Hughes to not submit a proposal to Palace for the 25-year-old this month on the very least, and unacceptable for the Reds to overlook out on him to a direct top-flight rival, given our present defensive scenario.
