Liverpool remains keen on signing Marc Guehi to replace Ibrahima Konate, with the club considering making a move either in January or next summer. Guehi, currently a Crystal Palace defender and an England international, was close to joining Liverpool in the recent summer transfer window, but the deal collapsed at the last moment because Palace could not find a suitable replacement before the deadline.
Despite Liverpool's ongoing interest, Guehi appears to have shifted his ambitions towards a move to Real Madrid. Reports from The Mirror reveal that Guehi has expressed a strong preference for joining the Spanish giants in the summer of 2026, after his contract with Crystal Palace expires.
Guehi is excited by the prospect of a new challenge in La Liga, and Real Madrid is preparing to initiate talks with him about a free transfer when he becomes available next summer. This development represents a significant obstacle to Liverpool’s hopes of securing the defender, who has informed his representatives about his desire to make the switch to Spain.
In summary, while Liverpool still views Marc Guehi as their first-choice target to fill the defensive void left by Ibrahima Konate, the player's preference for Real Madrid complicates the prospect of a transfer in either the January window or next summer. Liverpool may need to explore alternative options or try to convince Guehi to reconsider his plans.
