England and Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is heading towards free agency in the summer, and his situation has drawn strong interest from both Liverpool and Manchester City. The article explains that while several elite clubs are circling, a journalist reports that Guehi has already formed a clear preference between the two Premier League giants.

Liverpool’s interest is framed around their need to reinforce central defence as they plan the next iteration of their back line. Guehi’s age, Premier League experience, and homegrown status make him an excellent stylistic and strategic fit for Anfield. The piece notes that Liverpool can offer a central, long‑term role under an evolving project, with the chance to become a defensive pillar rather than a rotational option.

Manchester City, meanwhile, are presented as just as serious in their admiration, with Pep Guardiola viewing Guehi as an ideal addition to an already high‑quality group of centre-backs. City can offer trophies, Champions League contention every season, and the prestige of joining arguably the most dominant squad in England over recent years. However, the same strength in depth that makes City so attractive also raises questions about regular game time and status.

According to the journalist cited, when weighing these factors, Guehi is understood to favour a move to Liverpool over Manchester City. The article stresses that this is not yet a done deal, with Palace still to decide whether to cash in or lose him for free, and with other top clubs monitoring developments. But at this stage, if given a straight choice between the two, the report makes clear that Guehi’s preference is Liverpool, where he sees a clearer pathway to being a leading figure rather than just another elite squad member.
