Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi during the current summer transfer window.
According to The Mirror, the Reds are nearing an agreement to bring in the 24-year-old England international. Guehi has decided against renewing his contract with Crystal Palace and is now looking for a fresh challenge. A potential move to the Premier League champions would likely be an exciting opportunity for him.
As one of the biggest clubs in the world, Liverpool could offer Guehi a chance to compete for top honours.
Liverpool in strong position to secure the transfer
The report suggests Liverpool are in a favourable position to complete the signing, with formal discussions expected to take place within the next 24 hours. Whether the deal will be finalized quickly remains to be seen.
With Jarell Quansah set to join Bayer Leverkusen — a transfer expected to be completed tomorrow — Liverpool are looking to reinforce their defensive options. Signing Guehi would be a smart move, as he’s regarded as one of the league’s top centre-backs and could significantly strengthen Liverpool’s backline.
Could Guehi get regular playing time at Liverpool?
It remains to be seen how Liverpool would integrate Guehi into the starting XI, given that Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are currently the preferred central defenders. There is speculation that Liverpool might adopt a back-three formation next season, especially after signing two attack-minded full-backs. Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez could thrive as wing-backs in such a system. The tactical approach and Guehi’s role will become clearer as things unfold.
Given his contract situation, Guehi may be available at a relatively modest fee, potentially making him a great value signing for the Reds.
