Marc Guehi to Liverpool? It’s the question gaining traction as the Reds step up their interest in the Crystal Palace defender. With a £40m price tag and Premier League experience, Guehi’s arrival could have major implications for Arne Slot’s back line, transfer priorities, and squad dynamics. Here’s what the potential signing could really mean for Liverpool this summer.
Liverpool were in the market for a centre-back even before they decided to sell Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for a deal worth £35m this summer.
Dean Huijsen was their top target going into the end of last season, but the Spaniard decided to ignore offers from the Premier League and return to Spain with Real Madrid.
Marc Guehi has been on Liverpool’s radar since last summer, but they decided against getting into a bidding war with Newcastle United, who ultimately failed to snare him away from Newcastle United.
However, the Merseyside giants are showing more of a serious interest in the Crystal Palace captain this summer, and the club are expected to table a bid worth £30m soon.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Liverpool signing Marc Guehi could point to one serious ramification
Qunsah was the third-choice centre-back at Liverpool last season, and Guehi won’t be arriving at Anfield to sit on the bench.
If Liverpool make a concrete offer for the England defender in the coming days, it would mean Ibrahima Konate could be moving on this summer.
The Frenchman has yet to agree to sign a new contract, and Liverpool are seriously considering selling him if he continues to reject offers of fresh terms.
Signing Guehi mean Liverpool would get a readymade Premier League-experienced centre-back if the French defender leaves the club in the ongoing transfer window.
The Palace defender also wants a move to Liverpool, and has ignored discussions with clubs such as Arsenal and Newcastle United this summer.
