🚨 Transfer Update: Liverpool Edge Closer to £40m Deal for Marc Guehi
Liverpool appear to be closing in on a major defensive reinforcement, with reports claiming the Reds have tabled a £40m proposal to Crystal Palace for centre-back Marc Guehi.
According to Football Insider, the Merseyside club’s offer is structured as an upfront payment of £36m, with an additional £4m in performance-related add-ons—a package that is believed to be close to Palace’s valuation of their England international defender.
🔴 Why Guehi?
The 25-year-old has been one of the Premier League’s standout defenders in recent seasons, combining composure on the ball with defensive solidity. With Guehi entering the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, Palace may be tempted to cash in rather than risk losing him for free next summer.
👀 Konate’s Future in Doubt
Liverpool’s move comes amid uncertainty over the future of Ibrahima Konate, whose contract at Anfield also runs until next summer. The Frenchman has been linked with Real Madrid, and there are few indications that he’s close to agreeing fresh terms. Bringing in Guehi now would help ensure Liverpool remain secure at the back should Konate depart.
📌 Palace Already Preparing?
The Daily Mirror recently suggested that Crystal Palace have been eyeing Joel Ordonez as a potential replacement—another hint that Guehi’s exit could be on the horizon.
âš¡ More Business Expected
It’s not just at the back where Liverpool are strengthening. The Reds are also said to be exploring a late move for Alexander Isak from Newcastle United in what could be a blockbuster end to the transfer window.
