The 23-year-old centre-back, who has just a year remaining on his contract at Crystal Palace, is reportedly a top defensive target for the Reds as they look to bolster their backline ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The traditional season curtain-raiser will see Premier League champions Liverpool take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, who stunned Manchester City with a historic 1-0 win at Wembley in May.
Marc Guehi could make his Liverpool debut against Crystal Palace if he signs for the Reds this summer.
But if a deal with Liverpool is struck soon, Guehi's first test in red could be his most emotionally complex yet—facing the very club that helped him become the player he is today. Palace stood firm last summer in their efforts to keep Guehi, turning down several offers from Newcastle United —one reportedly reaching £65 million ($87 million)
While Palace initially valued the defender at around £70 million ($94 million), it’s understood they are now open to a sale and have set a more flexible price of approximately £45 million to begin discussions over a potential exit
Should Liverpool agree to meet Palace’s valuation, the deal would push their total summer spending past the £200 million ($269 million) mark.
