Liverpool<\/a> are getting closer to an agreement to sign Crystal Palace<\/a> captain Marc Guehi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two clubs are in negotiations after the Reds had an official bid of \u00a335million turned down on Saturday, with Palace holding out for closer to \u00a340m inclusive of add-ons.<\/p>\n

But sources have told Daily Mail Sport that a deal is close and there is an expectation in all parties that Guehi makes the move to Merseyside.<\/p>\n

The England international is keen on joining Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The Reds’ most recent bid for the England defender was countered by Palace, who demanded\u00a0\u00a335m plus \u00a35m in add-ons for the wantaway.<\/p>\n

Liverpool first proposed stumping up \u00a335m to Palace after the Community Shield and remained interested in brokering a deal for much of the summer window.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has remained steadfast in his view that Palace must retain the services of their skipper, who will be a free agent at the end of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We need to keep Marc if we are to play a successful season,’ said Glasner. ‘We talked in March about the situation and we have an agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘There is no replacement so it is clear one part of the agreement is not fulfilled. It is necessary for a successful season.<\/p>\n

‘If we don\u2019t sell Marc he will accept it because he loves Crystal Palace. We need to keep him. There is no deal.<\/p>\n

‘He is out player, under contract, he is not striking. No one forces anyone to sign a deal. The only who decides if Marc stays at palace is the chairman.<\/p>\n

‘I like Marc, he is such a professional player and such a nice guy. We have to keep him. We don’t have the right replacement, so for me, it is clear we keep him.’<\/p>\n
