Liverpool and Newcastle United reportedly receive a boost in their quest to sign England international Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

Liverpool and Newcastle United have reportedly been given a hint over Marc Guehi's Crystal Palace future.

The England international has made 112 competitive appearances since joining Palace from Chelsea in the summer of 2022.

Guehi, who is under contract until June 2026, has been heavily linked with a move away from Selhurst Park after impressing during England's run to the Euro 2024 final.

The 24-year-old started six of England's seven matches in Germany, with his strong defensive performances earning him plenty of plaudits.

Liverpool are believed to be among Guehi's admirers, while Newcastle have made a concerted effort to sign the Palace centre-back this summer.

The Magpies have allegedly failed with four transfer bids for Guehi, including a recent offer worth a total of £65m.

Palace drop hint over Guehi future

According to The Mirror, Liverpool and Newcastle have been given a boost in their respective pursuits of Guehi, with Palace working to bring in two new centre-backs.

The report claims that Palace have submitted bids to sign Maxence Lacroix and Tomas Araujo from Wolfsburg and Benfica respectively.

There is a suggestion that Palace view Lacroix and Araujo as potential replacements for Guehi and his central defensive partner Joachim Andersen.

The Denmark international is set to end his three-year stay at Selhurst Park by completing a move to Fulham for around £30m.

Why Liverpool and Newcastle targeting Guehi?

Liverpool appear to be trailing Newcastle in the race to sign Guehi, but they could be in the market for a new defender before the summer transfer deadline.

Sepp van den Berg is closing in on a Liverpool departure, while Joe Gomez could also leave Anfield after missing the win over Ipswich Town amid transfer speculation.

As for Newcastle, they have already bolstered their backline with the addition of Lloyd Kelly on a free transfer following his Bournemouth departure.

However, they are still keen to bring in further reinforcements as Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles continue to work their way back from long-term injuries.
