Marc Guehi officially enters the final 12 months of his Crystal Palace contract on Tuesday and interest is building. It's not often a player of his standing, an England international, enters such a zone of ambiguity.

Last year, Liverpool made just one signing in the form of winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus for £10m, but it did not harm their domestic season after winning the league by 10 points. This summer transfer window, Slot's side have pressed on with strengthening the squad with three major acquisitions made so far ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to use Ben Doak as a makeweight in negotiations with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi. The Reds are keen to acquire the services of the centre-back this summer, but his price tag is already proving an issue in talks.
