Liverpool are all set for another spending spree in the ongoing transfer window as the Reds now prepare for another lucrative deal for Crystal Palace captain and key defender Marc Guehi. According to reports in English media, Arne Slot’s side is ready to test Crystal Palace’s resilience as they get ready for the upcoming Premier League season. So, who is Marc Guehi and why are Liverpool behind the English defender?<h2>Who is Marc Guehi, Liverpool’s transfer target?</h2>Born in the Ivory Coast capital, Abidjan, Marc Guehi was eligible to play for the African nation, but his family moved to England when he was just one. His father, being a minister in the local church, saw Marc rise in religious values. He was scouted by non-Premier League sides in the early days before several clubs from the top flight kept a close eye on him.&nbsp;However, it was Chelsea who spotted Marc’s potential and signed him into their academy.

Transfer window: Who is Marc Guehi, Liverpool's latest target ahead of Premier League season opener?

Manchester United have reached an agreement with RB Leipzig to sign their Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko in a deal worth £73.7 million (€85 million), as part of a major reshaping of their attacking line-up. The package includes a guaranteed fee of £66.3 million (€76.5 million), with the remaining sum linked to performance-based add-ons. Sesko, 22, will now undergo a medical and complete formalities before sealing his move to Old Trafford.&nbsp;Sesko, who was also a target for Newcastle United, has scored 39 goals in 87 appearances for Leipzig. His arrival adds to United's aggressive summer in the transfer market, having already brought in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo for a combined £130 million. Despite their heavy spending, United have structured deals in a way that preserves financial flexibility. Marcus Rashford’s full £325,000-a-week wage is currently being covered by Barcelona, where he is on loan. The club also received £5 million in compensation from Chelsea after the London side backed out of a move for Jadon Sancho.&nbsp;Further sales could bolster United’s transfer budget. Alejandro Garnacho has been told he can leave and is attracting serious interest from Chelsea, with a potential £50 million deal on the table. Rasmus Hojlund, the club’s primary striker last season, has also been listed for sale at around £30 million after managing just 14 Premier League goals over two campaigns.&nbsp;Sesko’s decision to choose United over Newcastle is another setback for the Magpies, who have already lost out on Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool and now face the possibility of star forward Alexander Isak also heading to Anfield.
