Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi’s future has taken another dramatic turn.
The England international was on the verge of joining Liverpool in the summer, even completing his medical, before Palace pulled out at the last second after failing to secure a replacement. The collapsed deal left the Reds frustrated, with plans to revisit the transfer in January.
But now, fresh reports suggest Guehi may have changed his mind. According to The Mirror, the defender has told his representatives he would prefer a move to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants, searching for defensive reinforcements, are said to be keen on securing him—potentially even on a free transfer.
For Liverpool, it’s a worrying blow. With Virgil van Dijk edging towards the latter stages of his career, Ibrahima Konaté’s contract situation uncertain, and Joe Gomez battling fitness concerns, reinforcements at the back are essential. Guehi seemed the perfect fit, but his desire to join Los Blancos could force Arne Slot and his recruitment team to look elsewhere.
As the January window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool reignite their pursuit—or if Real Madrid win the race. 👀🔥
