Liverpool FC and Crystal Palace continue intense negotiations over the potential transfer of defender Marc Guehi to Anfield, with a reported offer of around £35 million being discussed but no final agreement reached as of mid-August 2025.

Guehi, who has one year left on his contract at Palace, has been openly made available for transfer by the club's chairman if he does not sign an extension. The England international has reportedly agreed personal terms with Liverpool and both clubs are in talks over the transfer fee, which Palace reportedly values at around £40 million. However, Liverpool is pushing for a reduced price to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.

The transfer saga is complicated by several factors. Liverpool has signed young centre-back Giovanni Leoni from Parma, which some insiders speculate could delay Guehi's acquisition by a year, as Liverpool may be less pressured to finalize the deal immediately. Meanwhile, Palace are also dealing with potential departures of key talents such as Eberechi Eze, which they aim to replace possibly with Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss.

Discussions include a possible swap deal involving Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, who is linked with a move away and could be used as part of the negotiation to lower the cash amount. This would address Palace’s need for reinforcements if Eze leaves and simultaneously add Premier League and international experience to Liverpool's defensive ranks.

Despite intense transfer speculation, Palace manager Oliver Glasner emphasized that Guehi remains fully committed to the club, starting in an important 0-0 opening day draw against Chelsea alongside Eze, demonstrating professionalism and focus amid the uncertainty.

Overall, the transfer talks between Liverpool and Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi remain active but unresolved, with potential outcomes ranging from an imminent deal to a delay or even Guehi running down his contract to join Liverpool on a free next summer. The situation is dynamic and continues to develop as both clubs assess their strategic needs and negotiate terms.
