Paul Gorst, a journalist for Liverpool Echo, has confirmed that Marc Guehi is undergoing a medical in London ahead of his anticipated transfer to Liverpool before the 7pm transfer deadline on September 1, 2025. The deal is reported to be worth around £35 million.
This move is set to significantly strengthen Liverpool's defensive options, addressing a key priority for manager Arne Slot. Guehi, an England international and Crystal Palace defender, has been one of the Premier League's most reliable defenders over the past two seasons. He is known for his composure, athleticism, and leadership qualities, making him a valuable addition to Liverpool's backline.
The timing of the transfer is crucial as Liverpool faces a demanding fixture list and currently has limited depth in defence. Guehi’s style suits a high-pressing system and he offers calm distribution from the back, which Slot will find beneficial.
Guehi is seen as more than just cover for Liverpool's established defenders Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté; he represents a long-term investment who could lead the team's defence in the future. This signing is considered a major coup for Liverpool’s recruitment team amid intense competition for Guehi’s signature and is expected to be a defining move of the summer transfer window.
Fans are now awaiting the official announcement, hoping the medical is completed smoothly. The transfer signals Liverpool's strategic intent to bolster key areas as they target multiple trophies in the coming season.
