La Liga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the clubs reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. Palace ended up putting their foot down, due to a lack of centre-back depth without him, and he assisted Eddie Nketiah’s winner in the Eagles’ recent 2-1 victory at home to Liverpool.

The Reds have looked leaky in defence, conceding twice against Atletico Madrid, Palace and Chelsea recently, and Ibrahima Konate‘s form has been a concern. Hopefully, Guehi still sees Liverpool as his ideal choice next summer, but the lure of moving to Madrid or Barca is great, as has been the case with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Xabi Alonso and Luis Suarez.

This could easily be agent talk more than anything, though, forcing Liverpool’s hand and making them sign Guehi for a fee in January. Centre-back has to be a key area of focus for Liverpool, especially if Konate moves on, and Guehi has the quality to excel at Anfield.
