Liverpool have been rather busy throughout the 2025-26 summer transfer window.

Even though the Anfield outfit were one of the most dominant teams in the Premier League last season, there were clearly some areas that Arne Slot thought needed bolstering.

And, since the Reds have now spent over £250million on improving their ranks, failing to retain the top-flight title and getting deep into the Champions League is not an option.

The defender has a year left on his current deal, and even though Liverpool could get him for free at the end of the season, a move for the Englishman now feels like it makes sense.

“He is a top, top player, the captain, Marc Guehi, I think he’s brilliant, I’m surprised more teams aren’t in for him,” he said while live on talkSPORT.

“But then, it doesn’t surprise me that one of the best teams about, Liverpool, are after him.

“Unfortunately for Crystal Palace, because they’re not competing for Premier League titles and Champions League spots and stuff, they’re almost like that team that’s just in between.

“Unfortunately, players are going to use that as a stepping stone.”

Even though Giovanni Leoni has just been brought in to help bolster Liverpool’s defensive ranks, it still feels like the Reds are a defender short.

Indeed, they now have four senior centre-backs among their ranks, but with the performance that Ibrahima Konate put in against Bournemouth last Friday, it feels like more competition is needed.

Guehi would be an excellent addition to the Anfield outfit’s ranks, as, with the amount of Premier League experience he has, alongside the fact that he’s still just 24 years old, it feels like a no-brainer.

But if they want the best chance of retaining the Premier League title and perhaps winning the Champions League, Guehi would be a step closer to that goal.
