In the upcoming Premier League fixture on September 27, 2025, Liverpool will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. This match is highly anticipated, especially considering Liverpool’s possible interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Reports suggest that Liverpool are planning a double transfer swoop for Marc Guehi and Michael Olise, both former Crystal Palace players, targeting a 2026 move.
Marc Guehi has recently enhanced his reputation by scoring for England in their 5-0 win over Serbia. With Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate expected to leave on a free transfer next year, the necessity to recruit a defender like Guehi grows. Although Liverpool missed out on Guehi in a deadline day move last summer, there is confidence that an agreement can be reached next year despite competition from overseas clubs like Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, the urgency to sign Michael Olise is less immediate since Mohamed Salah still has almost two years left on his contract. However, Liverpool are planning for the future and see Olise as a key part of a long-term succession plan following Salah's eventual departure. Olise is enjoying an impressive start to the current season at Bayern Munich, already netting four goals in four games, alongside international success with France. His Premier League credentials include 36 goals in 82 appearances.
Both Guehi and Olise, now entering their prime footballing years, could significantly strengthen Liverpool’s spine and attack. Their previous three seasons together at Crystal Palace from 2021 to 2024 add intrigue about a potential reunion at Anfield, which would constitute a smart double transfer coup for Liverpool's squad refreshment.
