Liverpool have set their sights on Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as they look to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season. The 23-year-old England international has impressed at Selhurst Park, attracting interest from several top clubs.
Price Tag Could Soar Beyond £60m
Palace are understood to value their star defender at over £60m, with his contract running until 2026 giving the London club a strong negotiating position. Guehi's consistent performances have made him one of the most sought-after defenders in the Premier League.
Triple Threat for Guehi's Signature
The Reds face competition from London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea, who are both monitoring the situation closely. Chelsea may hold an advantage as they inserted a sell-on clause when Guehi moved to Palace in 2021.
Why Guehi Fits Liverpool's Needs:
- Proven Premier League quality
- Comfortable playing in a high defensive line
- Excellent ball-playing abilities
- Leadership qualities despite his young age
With Virgil van Dijk not getting any younger and Joel Matip's future uncertain, Liverpool see Guehi as a potential long-term solution at the back. However, the significant fee required could test the Merseyside club's resolve in the transfer market.
