Liverpool Football Club has taken a major step in strengthening its defense by reaching an agreement with English international Marc Guehi. The news, reported by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, confirms that the 25-year-old player has agreed to join the Reds.
Guehi has been a key player for Crystal Palace and has impressed with his performances in the Premier League. His current contract with Palace is due to end in one year.
Because his contract is expiring soon, Crystal Palace was under pressure to sell him now rather than lose him for free next season. The final transfer fee is expected to be around €35 million.
For Liverpool, signing Guehi is a big win. He will add strength and quality to their defense. For Crystal Palace, losing their star defender is a blow, but the transfer fee will allow them to find a replacement.
The deal between the two clubs is in its final stages, and an official announcement is expected shortly. Liverpool fans can look forward to seeing a new, strong defender at Anfield soon.
