Liverpool ready to launch bid to sign £75m defender Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace and refuse to give up on Newcastle star Anthony Gordon

Per The Sun, the Reds are looking to bolster their backline this summer and are now in contention to sign Guehi from Crystal Palace, who is likely to cost £75m (€89m). They, however, will face competition from Newcastle United in their pursuit of the English centre-back.

Other than Guehi, the Merseyside giants also remain interested in signing Newcastle sensation Anthony Gordon. They are reportedly ready to include Joe Gomez as a part of the deal for the winger. The Magpies reportedly have identified a replacement in case Gordon exits St. James' Park in this window. They will likely go after The Eagles star Eberechi Eze who has a £60m (€71m) release clause in his current contract.

After spending close to £100m on midfield additions like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch last summer, Arne Slot's side are yet to announce a new signing in the ongoing transfer window. They, however, have parted ways with players like Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara.

After a successful trip to the United States, capped off with a fine victory over Manchester United, Slot's men will now play their final pre-season friendly at Anfield on August 11 against Sevilla.
