Liverpool (England) is booming in the summer transfer market.
British media Daily Mail reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Liverpool has chosen Virgil van Dijk's successor. He is in direct contact with Crystal Palace (England) to sign Mark Gehi' reported.
Liverpool, led by manager Arne Slot, reached the top of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. Liverpool is working hard to strengthen their squad to protect the throne. It is said that it has already invested an astronomical amount of money. Liverpool have signed Florian Birz, Jeremy Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Armin Pecci and Hugo Ekittike. In particular, it is known that it has invested a whopping £116 million in recruiting Birz. In addition, Alexander Isaac (Newcastle) and Guehi are also said to be paying attention.
The Daily Mail said 'Liverpool needs at least one defender who can back up Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate. Jarrell Kwanza transferred to Leverkusen (Germany), while Joe Gomez was sidelined for a while due to injury. Liverpool are interested in Guehi. Guehi has only one year left on his contract with Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace wanted £45m for Gehi's transfer. Liverpool didn't want to pay for it. Both teams have the belief that they can sign for around £35 million.
Born in 2000, Guehi played as a key defender for crystal palace in the 2024-2025 season. In particular, in the FA Cup final against Manchester City, he led the team to the top wearing the captain's armband. At that time, Guehi started and contributed to his team's 1-0 victory. Crystal Palace not only won the FA Cup, but also won the recent Community Shield against Liverpool. Crystal Palace won the Community Shield trophy for the first time in 120 years.

The Daily Mail says 'Liverpool want a young defender who can eventually challenge Van Dyke's successor. Previously, I have noticed Lenny Yoro (Manchester United), Jorrell Harto (Chelsea), and Dean Ha-seon (Real Madrid). They all transferred to different teams. However, Liverpool showed their intention to recruit a young defender.
Meanwhile, Guehi is attracting attention from multiple EPL clubs including Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tottenham. Newcastle offered £50 million last summer and Tottenham £70 million in January, but it did not come true. It's a different story this season. Crystal Palace Chairman Steve Parish said, `We sent Joakim Andersen (Fulham) out last summer, so we couldn't let Gehi go at once. There was another situation in January. Of course, we'll have to get Guehi out (if we make a proper proposal this time)."
