Liverpool Receive Encouraging Update in Marc Guehi Pursuit as Crystal Palace Eye Replacement
Liverpool may have been handed a promising boost in their efforts to sign Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi.
The Reds have reportedly held initial talks over a potential move for Guehi, and the Daily Mirror now reports that Palace are exploring options to replace him—specifically targeting Joel Ordonez of Club Brugge.
Guehi has been a key figure at Selhurst Park, but with just a year remaining on his contract, Palace may look to cash in this summer rather than risk losing him for free.
A move to Liverpool would likely appeal to the England international, especially after their Premier League title win and an impressive start to the transfer window.
Crystal Palace Line Up Guehi Successor
In a possible sign that Palace are preparing for Guehi’s departure, they are reportedly interested in signing Ordonez, a highly rated 21-year-old Ecuadorian defender currently at Club Brugge.
Ordonez could be a smart addition to Oliver Glasner’s backline should Guehi move on. Though replacing a key player like Guehi won’t be easy, Ordonez shows promise and could develop into a strong defensive asset.
Given Brugge’s reputation for selling top talent, Palace may sense an opportunity to secure the youngster, with the Mirror reporting that he’s now among their defensive targets.
Guehi Departure Could Follow Eze Exit
Reports from sources like The Athletic suggest that Palace are also set to lose Eberechi Eze, who is close to a move to Arsenal.
Losing both Eze and Guehi in the same window would be a significant blow for Palace. However, this is often the reality for clubs who perform well—top players attract interest from bigger sides.
Adam Wharton is another Palace star generating interest, with AS claiming both Real Madrid and Manchester United are monitoring the midfielder.
