Liverpool are reportedly involved in talks to sell an exceptional star amid ongoing transfer market activity. The Merseyside club is currently navigating significant squad changes, highlighted by the confirmed sale of forward Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal for around £53 million. This transfer has freed up funds, enhancing Liverpool’s pursuit of high-profile targets in both defensive and attacking positions.
Central defender Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace has emerged as a prime target for Liverpool. The 25-year-old England international has declined to renew his contract with Palace, leaving his current club facing the prospect of losing him on a free transfer next summer. Consequently, Crystal Palace is open to selling Guehi to recoup value, with his asking price having reportedly fallen from around £50 million earlier this window to approximately £40 million or less now. Liverpool’s interest has been reinforced by comments from Palace chairman Steve Parish, acknowledging the challenge of retaining such a player without a new contract and implying a sale may be necessary. This has encouraged hopes at Anfield that a deal for Guehi can be concluded before the transfer window closes.
Aside from defensive reinforcements, Liverpool remain focused on bolstering their attack. Their prime target for an attacking addition is Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, although Newcastle’s reluctance to sell complicates proceedings. Despite Liverpool's initial bid being rejected, they are expected to continue pursuing Isak within a realistic budget, and have other attacking options under consideration. The club’s recent recruitment of players such as Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike complements their evolving squad.
On the outgoing front, midfield talent Harvey Elliott is also linked with a potential move, as he seeks more regular playing time outside Liverpool’s current setup. Managerial changes and strategic squad adjustments are ongoing as the club aims to compete strongly on multiple fronts this season.
