Liverpool are planning to make a bid for one of the Premier League\u2019s best players in the coming days, according to a journalist, as Darren Bent urges him to move to Anfield in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n
The 2024\/25 campaign was hugely successful for Liverpool<\/a>. Even though the Reds lost the final of the Carabao Cup to Newcastle United, the Merseyside club won the Premier League title in Arne Slot\u2019s first season in charge. It was a record-equalling 20th title in the English top flight, and the fact that Liverpool became the champions of England in April shows just how dominant they were.<\/p>\n Despite their success last season, Liverpool manager Slot and Sporting Director Richard Hughes have been very busy in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have joined from Bayer Leverkusen, while Armin Pecsi has switched from Puskas Akademia.<\/p>\n Liverpool are also on the verge of signing Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth and are eyeing a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n Signing a defender, too, is on the agenda for Liverpool, who are keen on a deal for Marc Guehi<\/a>, who was described as a player who \u201cstrolls around like an uncle\u201d by Aston Villa defender and England international team-mate Ezri Konsa on\u00a0BBC Sport\u00a0in July 2024 because of his maturity.<\/p>\n Guehi is one of the best defenders in the Premier League and has been a star for Crystal Palace since his move from Chelsea in 2021.<\/p>\n TEAMtalk\u2019s transfer correspondent, Rudy Galetti, reported on June 21 that Liverpool are close to reaching an agreement with Guehi on personal terms<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sources told TEAMtalk at the time that Liverpool were \u2018expected to launch club-to-club contact soon\u2019.<\/p>\n Although Palace<\/a> value Guehi at \u00a370million, given that the 24-year-old is out of contract next summer, the FA Cup winners will accept an offer of \u00a345million.<\/p>\n Journalist Sebastien Vidal has brought an update on Guehi\u2019s situation, reporting that Liverpool are planning to make a bid for the defender in the coming days.<\/p>\n Vidal wrote on X<\/a> at 8:26am on June 23: \u201cA first offer will be made by Liverpool at the end of the week for the player.

(Guehi) has got one year left, it might be best for all parties, including the player.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool sell Konate to Real Madrid\u00a0if they are willing to pay and then you buy Guehi, and then neither goes for free. You (both) get a fee for both players, and Guehi can go to Liverpool and start. I\u2019m a big fan of his.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, former Palace owner Simon Jordan has urged the Eagles to cash in on Guehi this summer.<\/p>\n Jordan said on talkSPORT: \u201cSell him, unless you\u2019re going to tie him down \u2013 and you\u2019re not going to tie him down, are you?.<\/p>\n \u201cThey took the roll of the dice last year, they didn\u2019t take Newcastle\u2019s money in so far as Newcastle really offered it and it was on the nail and all that sort of stuff.<\/p>\n \u201cNow they\u2019re against the clock. So what do you get? You get nothing? And then you\u2019ve got to go and buy a new centre-back!
