Real Madrid Confidencial Fabrizio Romano confirms the signing, goodbye to Real Madrid and he'll play for Liverpool
The English team will strengthen its defensive line with a player who was linked to Real Madrid
According to the latest news coming from England, Crystal Palace could be forced to sell Marc Guehi to Liverpool. The captain has less than a year left on his contract at Selhurst Park and doesn't seem willing to commit his future to the recent CommunityShield winners.
In recent days, Marc Guehi has been strongly linked with Liverpool, which could lose Ibrahima Konate for free next year. Faced with the possible departure of the French center-back, who could be heading to Real Madrid, Arne Slot had the Palace captain on his list. In fact, according to the president of the Selhurst Park club, it will be difficult to keep the player.
When he was asked about the hypothetical case in which Liverpool offered £40 million for Marc Guehi, the official replied: "We'd have to do it, of course". "For players of that caliber to leave for free, it's a problem for us, unfortunately. Joachim Andersen left and we couldn't afford to lose both", he explained.
Palace president confirms that Marc Guehi could leave
Continuing with the statements from Steve Parish, Crystal Palace received an offer for its captain in the past. "Then we had another offer for Guehi in January, but that was a different situation", he added.
"We'll have to see what happens. But, you know, he needs a new contract or some kind of resolution", explained Steve Parish.
"The money in all soccer clubs is finite at some point. We'll do what we can, we'll try to help where we can. We all want to be better in soccer and we'll try to do what we can", he concluded.
Marc Guehi was already linked with Real Madrid in the past
In the previous season, Marc Guehi was linked several times with Real Madrid. The club's defense was heavily affected by injuries and the English player emerged as one of the possibilities.
However, the English center-back had a very high price that Real Madrid wasn't willing to pay. In the end, Florentino Pérez opted for the arrival of Dean Huijsen, also from the Premier League. In addition, the president of the club is still keeping an eye on possible signings of William Saliba or Ibrahima Konaté for the next season.
