Marc Guehi remains a top transfer target for Liverpool in the summer of 2025, with the club keen to strengthen their centre-back options. According to BBC journalist Sami Mokbel, Liverpool's interest in the 25-year-old England international from Crystal Palace is strong, but any potential deal hinges on negotiations between the clubs rather than lowball bids. Mokbel emphasized that Guehi is a rare homegrown player with a year left on his contract, representing a valuable market opportunity for Liverpool to improve their defense. However, Crystal Palace’s valuation is high, and Liverpool is unlikely to persuade them with a minimal initial offer, suggesting a need for constructive dialogue to find a middle ground[1].

Liverpool’s pursuit continues amid a competitive market where other Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham have shown interest. Despite this, Palace remain firm on a £40 million asking price even though Guehi’s contract runs down within a year, making the transfer a delicate balance between value and timing. Guehi has given no sign of renewing his deal at Selhurst Park, indicating a desire for a new challenge, which Liverpool may provide if they can meet Palace’s demands. The player's reputation has been boosted by strong performances, including a pivotal role in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup victory and commendations from England’s former manager Gareth Southgate during the European Championships[2].

Recent reports suggest that Liverpool have intensified talks with Crystal Palace, with Sami Mokbel stating there is significant momentum and “legs in that deal,” implying optimism for a conclusion favorable to the Reds. While no official transfer has been announced, and the negotiation process is ongoing, Liverpool appear to be taking a calculated risk as they seek to secure Guehi’s signature before the transfer window closes[3].
