The race for Marc Guehi’s signature has taken another turn, with reports in Italy suggesting Inter Milan are now keeping close tabs on the Crystal Palace defender.
With just under a year left on Guehi’s contract, speculation over his future is intensifying — but Liverpool still appear to be in pole position. The 24-year-old is understood to be eager for a move to Anfield, which could give the Reds a decisive edge despite late interest from abroad.
Inter’s Interest – Real Threat or Just Noise? 🤔
According to fresh reports, Inter coach Cristian Chivu has added Guehi to his shortlist of defensive options ahead of 2026. That makes sense considering uncertainty around star defender Alessandro Bastoni, who continues to attract attention from clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Still, Inter would likely struggle to meet Palace’s valuation, believed to be around £40–45 million. That figure could cool their pursuit, especially since Guehi’s deal is running down and he might be available for much less in 12 months.
Liverpool’s Urgency in Defence ⚡
While Inter may be planning for the future, Liverpool’s need is immediate. Manager Arne Slot has only three established centre-backs — Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and Joe Gomez — after Jarell Quansah departed for Bayer Leverkusen.
The Reds have already snapped up Giovanni Leoni from Parma, but many feel another reinforcement is essential to avoid a repeat of the defensive struggles seen in the 2020/21 campaign.
Why Guehi to Liverpool Still Looks Likely ✅
Liverpool’s pursuit has also been boosted by Palace’s off-field setback, with the CAS ruling stripping them of European competition this season. That has lowered the incentive for Guehi to remain at Selhurst Park, while also making it harder for Palace to resist cashing in.
In short: Inter Milan may be circling, but all signs still point towards Guehi donning the famous red shirt before long.
