Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer, but the transfer fell through after Palace failed to secure an adequate replacement. The 25-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the season, and with the club reluctant to lose him for free, a January exit now appears likely. Several top European clubs, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, are reportedly monitoring his situation.
Marc Guehi’s stance on a move
According to journalist Dean Jones via TEAMtalk, Guehi no longer holds a specific preference for Liverpool and is open to joining any major club. This marks a shift from the summer when Liverpool were seen as his preferred destination.
Jones explained:
> “The situation has changed with Guehi. He’s viewing things from a fresh perspective now, and his mindset about a move is clear and open. The Bayern Munich links should be taken seriously — that could genuinely appeal to him as he considers his next step.
> “There was some disappointment when the Liverpool deal collapsed, but reports exaggerated his reaction. He always knew the transfer wasn’t guaranteed and has remained level-headed, aware that more opportunities would come.
> “He did want to join Liverpool and still has interest, but at this point, he’s just as likely to move elsewhere. Bayern could easily become a very attractive option.”
Liverpool’s need for Guehi
Liverpool are currently short on defensive options following Giovanni Leoni’s season-ending ACL injury. The club are expected to move for Guehi again as they look to reinforce their backline. As one of the world’s elite teams, Liverpool can offer Guehi the chance to compete at the highest level and challenge for major honours — but whether they can persuade him to choose Anfield over other European giants remains to be seen.
