It's not Jair: he's a starter for his national team and could arrive at Liverpool to play with Van Dijk

Liverpool, always on the lookout for reinforcements, have a new name on their radar for the defense: Marc Guéhi. The defender, born in Ivory Coast but naturalized English, has been shining at Crystal Palace and has caught the eye of manager Arne Slot.

Guéhi, at just 24 years, is considered one of the brightest prospects in English defense. With his height, physical strength, and good technique, the defender has been a standout at Crystal Palace, proving to be both reliable and composed. His versatility is also a plus, as he can play both as a central defender and a right-back.

New defender coming?

Liverpool's interest in Guéhi is not new. Newly appointed manager Arne Slot is said to have identified the player as one of his priorities to strengthen the defense. With the departure of some players and the need to rejuvenate the squad, the Reds' board has started to consider the possibility of signing the defender.

But why would Guéhi be a good fit for Liverpool? Besides the technical qualities already mentioned, the player is still young and has a high potential for growth. His adaptation to the Premier League would be facilitated, as he has been playing in the competition for a few seasons.

However, the negotiation will not be easy. Crystal Palace knows the importance of Guéhi to the team and will not make it easy to let the player go. Moreover, other European clubs are also eyeing the defender, which could increase the competition for his signature.

Reds in the race

Liverpool will have to present a significant financial offer to convince Crystal Palace to release Guéhi. The expectation is that negotiations will intensify in the coming months, and the Reds' fans eagerly await more news about this potential reinforcement.

The arrival of Guéhi at Liverpool would be a great gain for the team. The defender could form a solid partnership with Virgil van Dijk and would give manager Slot even more options. Additionally, his youth and potential for growth would be important for the club's future.
