It wasn't Kim Minjae (Liverpool) alone!Liverpool to sign England's national team center back close to expected transfer fee of 84 billion won



Liverpool chose Mark Gehi over Kim Min-jae.

It was in mid-June that Liverpool was interested in Kim Min-jae. Journalist Christian Polk, who works for Sport Bild in Germany and is fluent in Bayern's internal news, said, `It is possible that Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae will leave the team in the summer transfer window, and several clubs, including Liverpool, are vying to sign him. Liverpool could face fierce competition with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nasr" he said.

However, even then, reporter Polk said "Liverpool may seek to recruit a new centre-back while the future of Joe Gomez and Jarrell Kwan is uncertain. Liverpool manager Arne Slot predicted that he would likely choose a younger profile than signing Kim Min-jae, whose value is expected to decline in a few years."

Liverpool also leaned toward recruiting younger resources than Kim Min-jae, as reporter Polk expected. The BBC reported on the 20th (Korea time) 'Liverpool is interested in recruiting Crystal Palace captain Guehi, and he can be considered a replacement for Kwan. Liverpool's interest in England's national team Gehi this summer depends on the transfer fee set by Palace.




Liverpool, which is undergoing tremendous reinforcement in the transfer market this summer, is expected to recruit Gehi as well. In an exclusive report on the 26th, British media outlet David Okob said 'Liverpool is close to recruiting Gehi. Liverpool have been in contact with Guehi since the beginning of this year. 'We are ready to start full-fledged negotiations after Qansa's now-almost-confirmed transfer to Bayer Leverkusen,' it reported.

The media then reportedly emphasized that Liverpool needed patience before the transfer was completed. However, with one year left on their current contract, Liverpool are confident they will be able to sign for a lower fee. The estimated transfer fee is around 45 million pounds (about 83.7 billion won). With a wealth of experience in the Premier League and a homely qualification at the same time, Guehi is a very attractive recruitment target for Liverpool's leadership.

If Guehi is recruited, Liverpool does not need to recruit additional center backs. Virgil van Dijk is in good shape, and negotiations with Ibrahima Konate are struggling, but Liverpool has no intention of selling Konate. Joe Gomez was also not on the release list this summer. Guehi is expected to play as Konate's competitor. With four center backs, it is expected that Kim Min-jae will not be targeted additionally.
