Liverpool are monitoring Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi as they assess long-term options for their back line, with the centre-half understood to be open to a future move away from Selhurst Park. The article explains that Liverpool’s recruitment team have extensively tracked Guehi’s development, impressed by his consistency in the Premier League and his composed performances at international level.

Guehi, who has established himself as one of Palace’s key players, is admired for his pace, reading of the game and ball-playing ability, all qualities that align with Liverpool’s high defensive line and possession-focused style. While he remains under a substantial contract at Palace and the London club are under no pressure to sell, there is acceptance that a sufficiently large offer from a Champions League side could prompt negotiations.

The defender is said to be ambitious and eager to test himself at the highest level, including regular European football and competing for major trophies. However, he has not pushed for a move and continues to behave professionally, reiterating his focus on performing for Palace while leaving the door open to future opportunities. Liverpool, for their part, are weighing up both the financial outlay and the timing, mindful of squad balance and existing senior centre-backs.

Any formal approach would likely come in a transfer window where Liverpool decide to refresh their defence, particularly if there are departures or concerns about injuries and age profile. Palace’s valuation is expected to be substantial, reflecting Guehi’s age, homegrown status and importance to the team. The article concludes that while no deal is imminent, Guehi remains firmly on Liverpool’s radar, and his openness to a step up ensures that speculation around a potential Anfield switch will persist in the months ahead.
