Liverpool reportedly prepares to bid £40 million to sign former Chelsea star

Liverpool is reportedly preparing to introduce former Chelsea star Mark Gaich. The Reds are ready to offer Crystal Palace a bid to accept or give up as they try to sign the defender.

According to the Sun, Liverpool will bid £40 million to sign Geith this month. Arne Slott wants to add an experienced Premier League player to the backline, and he believes the Crystal Palace star is the ideal candidate. The British were also reportedly targeted by Newcastle United last summer, but their staggering £70 million offer was rejected by London side. However, as the defender’s contract at Selhurst Park enters his final year, the asking price has fallen.

Liverpool want to take advantage of this situation because they are similar to those of Konath. The Frenchman has not signed a new contract at Anfield, and now is the final year of his contract, with Real Madrid reportedly hoping to attract him to the Bernabeu.

Gee, who will turn 25 this month, is also a target for Arsenal and Chelsea, and Newcastle is also interested in him. Crystal Palace is willing to sell their captain because he doesn't want to sign a new contract with the club.

Glen Johnson told Liverpool to sign former Chelsea star

Former England defender Glen Johnson gave an interview with AceOdds earlier this summer when he claimed Liverpool should sign Mark Gaich. He believes that the former Chelsea star is Van Dijk's ideal partner, and under the guidance of the Dutch star, the British will also make progress. He said:

"Mark will be my best choice. If they sign him now, he will have more time to grow and develop with Van Dijk. He won't learn from better people. Age is also good for him. It might be a good partnership. He is a primitive defender and he has a good ball holding. He is fast, strong and calm with the ball. If he can improve on some small details, he can be a great player, but he is now."

Meanwhile, Torre Andre Flo is also negotiating with the odds club and urging Chelsea to re-sign Geich. He said:

"I know Mark because I was his coach when he was young. I worked in the academy for a few years. He is a great boy and I hope he can come to Chelsea. He is a strong defender. He is fast and he will fight for you and the club. It will be a very good signing." Friends who like it can follow me and share more football related to you every day!
