Negotiations are reportedly underway between Liverpool and Marc Guehi regarding a potential transfer deal, with a swift conclusion being anticipated.
In a significant transfer development, Liverpool are on the brink of securing the services of Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi. The Reds and Palace are currently engaged in advanced negotiations, with both parties making strides towards a potential deal [1][3][4].
The proposed move for Guehi has gained priority status at Liverpool's end, as they seek to bolster their defensive line [5]. The current captain of Crystal Palace, Guehi's potential signing could provide immediate competition to Ibrahima Konate and potentially become Virgil van Dijk's primary centre-back partner [6].
The valuation and potential fee for Guehi's transfer have not been officially confirmed, but it is suggested that Palace will aim to secure a fee before his contract runs down further, given his willingness to move and the limited duration left on his deal [1][4]. Reports indicate a gap of £5 million between Liverpool's and Palace's valuation of Guehi [7].
The timeline for the completion of the deal is expected to extend until the end of the season. Liverpool are arranging a medical and aim to finalize the signing by then, signalling that the deal is in its final stages, although not yet completed as of August 20, 2025 [2].
Interestingly, Chelsea, who previously owned Guehi, are not prioritizing a move for him this summer, as they focus their efforts on other positions [8]. Transfermarkt currently values Guehi at €45m [9].
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also reportedly showing interest in Giovanni Leoni from Parma for a central defender position [10]. Van Dijk and Konate, ranked amongst the best centre-backs in the world by our website, are eager for reinforcements, as Arne Slot and the Anfield hierarchy look to add a specialist centre-back to their squad [11].
In an interesting twist, Guehi lifted the Community Shield against Liverpool this weekend, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the potential transfer [12]. As the transfer saga unfolds, fans eagerly await updates on the negotiations and the possibility of Guehi donning the red jersey.
