Liverpool are stepping up their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi, with reports suggesting a £50m bid is in the works. The Reds are keen to bolster their defensive options, and the 23-year-old England international has emerged as a top target.
Why Guéhi?
Guéhi has been a standout performer for Palace since joining from Chelsea in 2021. His composure, leadership, and ability to play out from the back make him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s style under Jürgen Klopp.
Palace’s Stance
Crystal Palace are reluctant to lose their star centre-back but could be tempted by a hefty offer. The Eagles have already seen Michael Olise depart this summer and may demand a premium to part with another key player.
Liverpool’s Defensive Revamp
With Joël Matip leaving on a free transfer and Virgil van Dijk entering his twilight years, Liverpool are eager to secure a long-term defensive solution. Guéhi’s Premier League experience and potential make him a prime candidate.
What’s Next?
Talks are expected to accelerate in the coming weeks, with Liverpool hoping to finalise the deal before pre-season kicks off. Will Palace hold firm, or will the allure of Champions League football sway their decision?
