Liverpool’s £45m move could stall as Slot target happy to stay put

Liverpool’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements could hit a major hurdle as one of our top summer targets is reportedly willing to bide his time before making a move.

According to Jacob Steinberg in The Guardian, Marc Guehi is prepared to see out the final year of his Crystal Palace contract if the right opportunity doesn’t arise.

The 24-year-old, who played a vital role in Palace’s FA Cup triumph, has made it clear he won’t be signing an extension and is therefore available this summer — but only on his own terms.
