Liverpool are reportedly on the cusp of signing 25-year-old Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in a deadline-day move.

It seems that Liverpool and Crystal Palace have finally agreed on a deal for Marc Guehi. The 25-year-old will now head to Liverpool to complete his move before the window closes. Liverpool are paying £35 million in order to sign the player, and Crystal Palace have included a 10% sell-on clause in his contract, as per Fabrizio Romano.

The defender was in the final year of his contract, and Crystal Palace were under pressure to sell him. They cannot afford to lose a player of his quality on a free transfer. It makes sense for them to let him move on for a reasonable amount of money this summer. His departure will certainly be a blow for the club. He was not only their best defender, but he was also the captain of the club.

He has been instrumental in their success in recent months. Crystal Palace have won the FA Cup and the Community Shield, and he has been outstanding for them. It will be interesting to see if the 25-year-old can establish himself as a regular starter for Liverpool.

Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are currently the first-choice central defenders at the club. The England International will not want to sit on the bench at Liverpool, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. There is no doubt that he is one of the best defenders in the league right now, and he could be an asset for the club.

Konate is in the final year of his contract, and it would not be a surprise if he decided to leave the club on a free transfer next summer. Guehi could be the ideal replacement for him. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he will look to make an instant impact. The former Chelsea Academy graduate has been linked with multiple top clubs in recent years, and a move to Liverpool would be ideal for him. He is certainly good enough to compete at the highest level.
