"Liverpool are ready to take on Manchester United in a battle for Crystal Palace centre-back Mark Gehee.
According to a source from The Telegraph, Guehi's return to Chelsea is unlikely - the Blues do not have a buy-back option for Mark, but they will have a share in the resale of the player by the Eagles.
Liverpool and Manchester United seem to be the most likely destinations for Guechi. The Merseyside club has reportedly added Mark to its list of targets for the summer, despite the uncertainty of a new sporting director and a successor to Jurgen Klopp as head coach.
Manchester United's interest in Gehee is primarily linked to the person of Newcastle's sporting director Dan Ashworth, whom the Red Devils are trying to lure away.
Ashworth is a big fan of Gehee's talent and has previously tried to buy Mark from Newcastle. Gehee has a contract at Crystal Palace until 2026, and the parties are unlikely to extend their cooperation. This means that the summer will be the best time for the Eagles to get the maximum compensation for Mark.
