FC Liverpool interessiert an Marc Guéhi

Liverpool are interested in signing central defender Marc Guehi, with new Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner already facing a battle to hold on to the club’s star players this summer.

But Liverpool could face a fight with fierce rivals Manchester United over Guehi should the club’s proposed sporting director Dan Ashworth revive his interest in the England international.

Liverpool, like United, will appoint a new sporting director and need to replace head coach Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season, but the Anfield club have already placed Guehi on a list of proposed summer targets.

It will now be up to the new appointments whether or not Liverpool follow through with the interest in Guehi, while the possibility of United entering the bidding may rest on whether or not Ashworth can be appointed in time for the summer window.
