The Crystal Palace captain, who is now into the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League champions. According to the BBC, Liverpool have now held initial talks with the Eagles with a view to signing the 25-year-old.

Liverpool have opened talks with Crystal Palace to sign centre-back Marc Guéhi, with the south London club expecting a fee of around £30 million ($41m) plus £5m in add-ons, sources have told ESPN.

The English center-back is one of the most sought-after players by the big teams in the Premier League and the 'Eagles' are willing to sit down and negotiate.

Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.

As many Liverpool fans will know, the Reds are already on the cusp of announcing a new centre-back as the transfer of Giovanni Leoni from Parma is close to completion. The Italian was a regular feature in the Serie A last term, and although he can more than hold his own, he’s likely to be the Reds’ fourth-choice centre-back.
