Liverpool transfer target Marc Guehi has reiterated that he’s not concerned about his future, stressing that “it doesn’t matter” amid ongoing transfer speculation. The Crystal Palace captain has been linked with several European heavyweights, including Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old was close to joining Liverpool on deadline day during the summer transfer window, but the move collapsed after Palace failed to sign a replacement in time. Despite the uncertainty, Guehi has remained a key player and continues to lead the Eagles.
With his contract at Selhurst Park set to expire at the end of the season, Guehi is unlikely to sign an extension, meaning he could leave as a free agent. Liverpool remain interested in securing his signature, although recent reports suggest Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are now leading the race.
Crystal Palace are said to be preparing for his potential exit—either in January or next summer.
Currently on international duty with England, Guehi is expected to feature in Thursday’s friendly against Wales and next Tuesday’s World Cup Qualifier in Latvia. When asked about his contract situation, he downplayed the issue, saying:
> “For me, it doesn’t matter. As long as I’m playing well for Palace, there’s an opportunity for me to be here. Whether it’s sorted or not, it doesn’t matter for me.”
Liverpool are reportedly keeping close tabs on Guehi’s performances during the international break as they assess their January transfer plans. Manager Arne Slot is believed to be concerned about his central defensive options, with summer signing Giovanni Leoni sidelined by a serious knee injury and Ibrahima Konate facing fitness doubts after limping off in the defeat to Chelsea.
The Reds will return to Premier League action after the break with a huge clash against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, October 19 (4:30 pm).
