Liverpool are reportedly preparing a renewed approach to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace before the summer transfer window closes.
The 25-year-old centre-back is said to remain high on the Reds’ wishlist, with head coach Arne Slot determined to bolster his backline ahead of the new campaign. Although much of the current transfer buzz has centered on Liverpool’s pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, defensive reinforcements remain a priority.
Transfer expert and former Manchester United scout Mick Brown, speaking to Football Insider, suggested that Liverpool are still keen on securing Guehi’s services and may step up their interest in the coming weeks. According to Brown, Guehi is open to a switch to Anfield and could even turn down other suitors in favor of the Merseyside giants.
🔁 Slot Looking for Stability at the Back
With lingering doubts surrounding Ibrahima Konaté’s long-term role and a perceived lack of depth in central defence, Liverpool are believed to be considering a late-window move for Guehi. Arne Slot reportedly sees the former Chelsea academy product as a crucial addition — potentially even penciling him in for a regular starting role.
The uncertainty around Joe Gomez’s consistency and Jarell Quansah’s loan departure have only intensified the club’s desire to secure a proven, reliable centre-back. Guehi, who has impressed consistently for Palace, fits the profile Liverpool are after — young, experienced, and Premier League ready.
💬 “All the noise has been around Isak lately,” Brown revealed. “But Liverpool haven’t taken their eyes off Guehi. They see him as just as valuable, especially given their ambitions this season. They need solidity at the back, and Guehi offers that.”
🚨 Darwin Núñez Situation Unfolding
While Liverpool push forward with potential signings, they’re also working on outgoings. Reports suggest the club is now willing to listen to offers for Darwin Núñez, with Slot reportedly not counting on the Uruguayan forward as part of his plans.
A potential move to Napoli was on the table earlier in the summer but eventually broke down. Still, the club remains open to parting ways with the striker as they aim to reshape the forward line.
With just weeks remaining in the transfer window, Liverpool fans can expect a flurry of activity — both in terms of arrivals and departures — as Arne Slot fine-tunes his squad for a demanding season ahead.
