Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most in-demand centre-backs, with Arsenal and Liverpool both closely monitoring his situation. The 23-year-old has impressed with consistent performances for club and country, demonstrating composure on the ball, strong positional sense, and leadership qualities that have elevated his reputation domestically and internationally.

Manchester City have also been credited with interest, viewing Guehi as a potential long-term option in central defence. However, the article reports that the player is prepared to turn down a move to the Etihad, with the likelihood of limited game time under Pep Guardiola seen as a key factor. With City already stacked with high-level central defenders, Guehi is thought to be prioritising a club where he can be a regular starter.

This stance has offered fresh encouragement to Arsenal and Liverpool. Both clubs are planning defensive reinforcements and view Guehi as an ideal fit for their evolving squads. At Arsenal, Mikel Arteta is seeking more depth and competition at centre-back, particularly with concerns over injuries and long-term planning. Guehi’s ability to play out from the back and operate in a high defensive line aligns with Arteta’s tactical demands.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are considering the next phase of their backline amid uncertainty over the future of some senior defenders and the need to refresh an ageing core. Guehi’s Premier League experience and international pedigree make him an attractive option as part of a defensive rebuild.

Palace are expected to demand a significant fee, reflecting Guehi’s importance and long contract, but the player’s openness to a new challenge at a top-six club could shape the summer transfer battle. The article concludes that Arsenal and Liverpool now appear better placed than Manchester City to land Guehi, should he decide to move.
