Liverpool target Marc Guehi has reportedly been offered a contract proposal by Premier League rivals Manchester City. The English international has just six months left on his contract at Crystal Palace, with a move away being touted for the defender this month.

The Reds were on the verge of securing Guehi's signature in the summer, but despite agreeing a £35million deal with Palace, the move fell through at the 11th hour. The reasoning behind the collapsed deal was Palace's inability to secure a replacement in time before the window shut.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Manchester City have upped the ante in pursuit of Guehi, amid a pretty nasty injury crisis in their defence. It's reported that a contract has been proposed by City, with the 2023 European champions prepared to submit a bid if they get the green light.
