Marc Guehi is expected to complete a move to Liverpool after Crystal Palace’s game tomorrow, sources have told Football Insider.

The 25-year-old is believed to have an “agreement” with Palace that he can leave once their Europa Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad is completed.

Guehi has already fully agreed on personal terms with Liverpool and they are close to finalising a fee with Palace following extensive talks.

Sources say that the Premier League champions won’t increase their initial bid of £35million but will make a “minor adjustment” on the add-ons.

Palace have been holding out for a fee of £40m for Guehi, who has entered the final year of a contract that expires next June.

Liverpool reinforce shaky defence with Marc Guehi deal

Guehi is coming in at a perfect time for Arne Slot’s side, who have struggled with a leaky defence so far this season.

Liverpool beat Newcastle United 3-2 on Monday (25 August) evening, but looked shaky at the back, conceding twice against ten men in the second half.

One man in particular who didn’t cover himself in glory was Ibrahima Konate, who has already made a number of mistakes during the Reds’ two Premier League games.

Konate has been the subject of transfer interest from Real Madrid this summer, as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.

Alexander Isak to complete Newcastle U-turn

Meanwhile, Alexander Isak could still play for Newcastle again if his transfer to Liverpool falls through, sources have told Football Insider.

The Swedish striker has made his desire to move to Anfield abundantly clear, with Newcastle fans furious at the way he has conducted himself.

Liverpool submitted an opening offer totalling £120million for the 24-year-old’s services, which was rejected by the Magpies, and have yet to return with an improved bid.

Sources say that if Isak’s switch to Merseyside doesn’t end up happening, then he still has a way back into the fold at St James’ Park, despite his actions.
