Liverpool remain the favorites to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace despite Tottenham Hotspur's ongoing interest in the defender. Guehi, the 24-year-old Crystal Palace captain, is in the final year of his contract, which strengthens Liverpool's negotiating position. Liverpool has prioritized Guehi’s signing after moving Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for £30 million, recognizing Guehi's leadership and durability qualities.

Tottenham had submitted a late bid for Guehi during the winter transfer window, which was rejected by Crystal Palace. Although Spurs have not yet made a second firm offer, they have not ruled out reigniting their pursuit of the England international. Tottenham already has four senior center-backs—Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, and Radu Dragusin—with additional cover in Ben Davies and Archie Gray, raising questions about whether their interest in Guehi is a contingency if Romero departs or part of future squad planning.

The competition for Guehi's signature remains, with Liverpool maintaining the edge in the race. Spurs' interest lingers, but the most recent updates suggest that Liverpool is most likely to secure the Crystal Palace defender if he leaves this summer.

Guehi featured prominently last season, captaining Palace and playing 44 games across all competitions, underscoring his importance and appeal to top Premier League clubs. The ongoing transfer saga indicates a strategic battle between two high-profile clubs aiming to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season.
