Liverpool Transfer News LIVE: Marc Guehi 'Open' to Man City, Chiesa Offer, Xabi Alonso Fired
Marc Guehi dominates Liverpool's transfer headlines as his Crystal Palace contract enters its final six months, expiring June 30, 2026. The England international is a prime target for Liverpool, who pushed hard for him last summer in a £35m deal that collapsed on deadline day.[1] Liverpool now eye a free-agent swoop next summer, with Guehi already informed of their plans and how he'd fit alongside defenders like Ibrahima Konaté, whose own contract nears its end.[1]
Arsenal have gained ground in the race, with Guehi reportedly favoring a move to the Gunners or Liverpool over Manchester City, despite City's determination to act this January.[2] Palace boss Oliver Glasner expects Guehi to stay until summer but admits a "massive" offer could change that, especially with five months left.[1] He stressed Palace's chairman would demand a high price, echoing last summer's dynamics.[1]
Liverpool view Guehi as a non-negotiable January signing amid defensive needs, per fan site analysis, urging immediate action over a Bosman free transfer.[3] City remain 'open' to a cut-price deal now, while Bayern Munich also lurk.[1]
Other updates: Liverpool have tabled an offer for Federico Chiesa, per live rumors. Xabi Alonso faces sacking talks at Bayer Leverkusen amid poor form. Broader news includes Newcastle targeting Atalanta's Giorgio Scalvini (£35m) after Fabian Schär's injury, and Juventus chasing Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi as his deal expires.[2]
The January window heats up, with Guehi's future pivotal for Liverpool's title push. Stay tuned for live updates on Anfield incomings.[1][2][3]
