Liverpool’s defensive rebuild continues to gather momentum, and Marc Guehi has emerged as the next big name on the club’s radar.

The Reds see the Crystal Palace captain as an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s system, but behind the scenes, a tug-of-war is playing out between Palace chairman Steve Parish, who admits sales are necessary, and manager Oliver Glasner, who is desperate not to lose another key player after Eberechi Eze’s imminent exit to Arsenal.

Liverpool’s approach for Guehi is measured.



Sources suggest the Anfield hierarchy will not pay over the odds now when there’s a realistic chance of snapping him up for free in 2026.

Palace value him at around £45m, down from the £70m Newcastle were willing to pay last summer, but Liverpool are reluctant to go beyond £30m given his contractual situation.

Still, the club have kept lines of communication open, convinced Guehi could be a long-term solution to their defensive core alongside Virgil van Dijk’s eventual successor.

Glasner, however, has taken the opposite stance, warning that selling Guehi this late in the window could leave Palace short of leadership.

Guehi represents a ready-made upgrade who could anchor the back line for years to come.
