Report: Liverpool handed blow in chase for Premier League defender

Liverpool have suffered a potential setback in their search for a new left-back, with Crystal Palace pushing to agree a contract extension with Tyrick Mitchell. The 27-year-old England international has been linked with a January permanent transfer to Anfield as Liverpool look to reinforce the position following the summer departure of Andy Robertson.

Mitchell is currently in the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park and holds an estimated valuation of €17.8 million (£15.3 million). While Crystal Palace are actively working to secure his long-term future before the winter window opens, Liverpool reportedly remain attentive to the situation in case negotiations stall.
