Marc Guehi has informed his friends he wants to join a “bigger club” than Newcastle United and would love to sign for Liverpool, sources have told Football Insider.
The Magpies have had a longstanding interest in the 24-year-old and had four bids rejected by Crystal Palace in January.
However, Newcastle were unable to secure his signature which has intensified the boardroom tension between Eddie Howe and sporting director Paul Mitchell.
The centre-back is aware of interest from Liverpool and sources tell Football Insider he “would jump” at the opportunity to sign for them.
The Reds have been monitoring the England international since the summer, but Arne Slot’s misgivings stopped the club from making a formal move.
Marc Guehi prefers Liverpool move to signing for Newcastle United
The Magpies remain keen on signing Guehi after Howe has made the defender his number-one target, but Guehi isn’t overly keen on a move to St. James’ Park.
Palace demanded £75million for him in the summer, which was a hurdle Newcastle couldn’t negotiate past.
Guehi has played every minute of Crystal Palace’s season so far in all competitions, being a key member of the squad.
The centre-back is under contract at Selhurst Park until 2026, putting the Eagles in a commanding negotiating position for any potential bids.
