Marc Guehi Wants Liverpool Move as Talks Continue

Marc Guehi wants to move to Liverpool before the transfer window closes. Talks between Liverpool and Crystal Palace are ongoing. Although other top clubs are interested, Guehi prefers Liverpool.

LATEST ON TRANSFER TALKS

Talks about Marc Guehi‘s transfer have continued into the final week. Manchester City may make a late move if space in their squad allows. Guehi himself prefers Liverpool. Reports say that Liverpool has offered around £35 million, while Crystal Palace is holding out for closer to £30 million plus add-ons for Guehi’s transfer , as indicated in recent updates. Guehi is entering the final year of his contract and is unlikely to renew, increasing pressure for a sale before the deadline according to sources. Liverpool are ready to wait until 2026 if necessary, as Guehi could leave as a free agent.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR LIVERPOOL AND PALACE

Liverpool’s defense was a key part of them winning the Premier League title last season, and they are building a younger backline as they aim to defend their title. Marc Guehi’s homegrown status under Premier League rules makes him an attractive addition to their squad. Crystal Palace has already lost star player Eberechi Eze this summer, which raises concerns about losing their captain and central defender, a significant blow for manager Oliver Glasner as they kick off their Premier League and European campaigns. Palace started with two draws and then won their first European match 1-0 against Fredrikstad.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BOTH CLUBS

Liverpool lead the table and face Arsenal next, while Palace are mid-table and meet Aston Villa. With Tottenham and Arsenal level on points with Liverpool, squad depth becomes even more crucial. A failure to complete the Guehi deal would force Palace to risk losing their captain next summer for free, while Liverpool may have to look for other defensive targets in the current window and then return for Guehi if needed.
