The British news outlet claim that Man Utd, Man City, Spurs and Arsenal have assessed the 24-year-old, who has been the standout player for the Eagles this season.
It is further added that the main rivals to Liverpool are Chelsea, however, the Merseysiders are leading the race to get the deal over the line.
In fact, it is stated that the Premier League leaders are ‘expected’ to agree a deal worth £80million to sign Guehi from the Selhurst Park outfit.
At Sporting, Ruben Amorim had top center backs like Diomande and Inacio, who were important in his three at the back system. Unfortunately, the current crop of center backs at at Old Trafford have not proved to be good enough.
Last summer, Man Utd splashed the cash to sign Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt to improve the central defense.
The duo have so far failed to shine at Old Trafford. On the other hand, the likes of Maguire and Lindelof have been highly inconsistent over the years and Lisandro Martinez remains injury prone.
In such a scenario, Man Utd need a top quality center back to improve things at the back and Guehi, with his PL experience, would have been perfect, however, it seems that he is headed to Liverpool.
