Liverpool fans have sparked transfer speculation after noticing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi seemingly snub the club’s manager, Oliver Glasner, following a 0-0 draw with Chelsea. This incident occurred shortly after Palace’s impressive start to the Premier League season, which included a Community Shield victory over Liverpool.
During the match, Eberechi Eze had a winning goal controversially disallowed, and post-game, rumors began circulating regarding Eze’s potential departure from Palace. However, the focal point for transfer talk was Guehi’s apparent avoidance of Glasner when the manager called him to shake hands after the match. Liverpool supporters took this as a strong sign that the England international defender is interested in a move to Anfield.
The transfer rumors coincide with Liverpool’s need to strengthen their central defense, especially with reports suggesting that current defender Ibrahima Konate could be on his way out this summer. Liverpool has already secured a new center back, Giovanni Leoni, who joined from Serie A side Parma for £26 million, but they are still keen on another signing.
Guehi’s gesture, or lack thereof, towards Glasner has fueled belief among Liverpool supporters that the club is targeting the Palace captain as their next defensive recruit. This development adds to the growing drama around Palace’s squad stability following the season’s opening fixtures.
