Liverpool 'hold talks' with Crystal Palace star as Marc Guehi double deal eyed

Liverpool have reportedly held talks with Jean-Philippe Mateta over a possible move this summer. The Crystal Palace star has been heavily linked with a move away from Selhurst Park in recent weeks, and the Reds are the latest side to join the race to secure his signature.

Arne Slot's side have splashed the cash already this summer, signing Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth as well as Bayer Leverkusen duo Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, and another double swoop now appears to be in the works.

According to Foot Mercato, Liverpool have met with Mateta and his agent to discuss the potential conditions of a move. The 'meeting' took place in Paris, with the Frenchman's exit from Palace now firmly on the cards.

AC Milan and Manchester United are among those to have been linked with the No. 9, but the prospect of joining Slot's Premier League title-winning outfit could prove to be an opportunity simply too good to turn down.
