Liverpool is on the brink of securing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi at a bargain fee while rivals join the transfer race.
Sources claim Crystal Palace may settle for a fee between £50–60 million. They initially demanded £75–80 million for their captain. Guehi holds only 12 months on his contract at Selhurst Park, which may enable a free transfer move by January 2026.
Last summer, Newcastle showed strong interest and made four bids that failed. Now, Tottenham and Chelsea join the race. Liverpool stands as the frontrunner to secure his signature.
Marc Guehi established himself as a key figure at Crystal Palace. He started all 34 league matches in the 2024–25 season. He played 3,060 minutes, scored 3 goals, provided 2 assists, and earned 8 yellow cards. The 24-year-old broke into the England squad in 2022 and recently earned a call-up from Thomas Tuchel.
During Euro 2024, he played a pivotal role for England. His performances helped the Three Lions reach the final in Germany. He continues to inspire as the Palace captain.
Liverpool seeks to reinforce its defense amid transfer uncertainties. Questions loom over Virgil van Dijk’s future. Ibrahima Konate, aged 25, has 34 appearances with 31 starts this season. Contract talks with him stalled since October.
Liverpool appears ready to pressure Palace into lowering Guehi’s price. The club leverages its strong transfer position to negotiate favorable terms. Fans expect a strategic deal to boost the team’s defense.
