Overview

• Liverpool are in active negotiations to sign the England centre-back before the transfer deadline, according to Fabrizio Romano.
• Marc Guehi has agreed to the proposed move to Anfield, multiple reports say.
• Liverpool are prepared to pay more than £30 million to complete the deal immediately.
• Crystal Palace do not intend to approve a sale until they bring in a defensive replacement, which remains the key hurdle.
• Guehi is in the final year of his contract, raising the prospect Liverpool revisit a free transfer next summer if no agreement is reached now.
