Liverpool are actively pursuing a transfer deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, who has decided to join Liverpool despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan. Liverpool have been negotiating with Crystal Palace over Guehi, whose contract expires at the end of the season. The two clubs have been discussing a fee reportedly around £35-40 million, while Palace’s asking price stands closer to £45 million.

Guehi has agreed on personal terms with Liverpool and is understood to be eager to make the move to Anfield. Liverpool's pursuit is driven by defensive needs after the departures of Jarell Quansah and the uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konate’s contract. Although Tottenham and Inter Milan have expressed interest—Inter reportedly targeting Guehi for the 2026 window—Liverpool remain in a strong position due to Guehi’s desire to join them.

Crystal Palace faces difficulty in persuading their captain to stay amid their participation in European competitions this season. They are considering potential replacements, including Ligue 1 defender Jacquet, to bolster their defensive options if Guehi departs. Despite Liverpool’s reluctance to overpay, the club may be prepared to meet Palace halfway to secure this key defensive signing given Liverpool’s early-season defensive issues.

The transfer saga continues with Liverpool close to finalizing the deal before the transfer deadline, reflecting the club’s strategic strengthening of their backline ahead of the coming season.
