Liverpool transfer news: Rival Premier League defender eyed as Marc Guehi alternative ...Middle East

Since the summer transfer window, Liverpool have been attempting to recruit Marc Guehi. But with the arrival of numerous suitors, the centre-back's matter is becoming complicated. The English club could fall back on an established Premier League defender.

This summer, Liverpool were very close to signing Marc Guehi, but in the final hours of the transfer window, the deal collapsed. If the Reds intend to return to the charge for the Crystal Palace centre-back, several heavyweights are also interested. Real Madrid are also attempting to recover the stake, as well as Barcelona and Bayern Munich. It must be said that the 25-year-old player will be free of any contract next June.

But Liverpool do not want to experience a second failure. Thus, if the matter does not materialise, the English giant have already anticipated another target. Indeed, Arne Slot is searching for an experienced player who knows the Premier League well, with the aim of taking Ibrahima Konate's place, who is departing. According to information from Transfer News Live, Liverpool could look at Sven Botman.

Liverpool also targeting Sven Botman for 2026

Present at Newcastle since summer 2022, Sven Botman experienced an express adaptation to the English league. But serious injuries have slowed his progression. However, the Dutchman is now completely physically fit and should regain his best level, as upon his arrival at the Magpies. But this matter will not be straightforward either and TBR Football state that Newcastle are planning to extend their defender's contract.

Sven Botman is tied with Newcastle until June 2027. Aware that the contract's expiry date is approaching, the English club wish to quickly secure their stalwart's future. The former LOSC player is valued at £34.2m on the Transfermarkt website. Liverpool have the means to make Newcastle yield and replace Ibrahima Konate with the Dutch rock.
