JUST IN: New Marc Guehi transfer speculation HIT as Liverpool edge closer to sealing deal.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi faces significant challenges. The 24-year-old Crystal Palace defender, whose contract runs until June 2026, has attracted attention following his strong performances last season and his role in England’s Euro 2024 campaign.
Newcastle United has initiated discussions with Crystal Palace regarding Guehi’s transfer, becoming the first club to engage in serious negotiations. Liverpool’s interest in Guehi comes amid changes in their defensive lineup, including Joe Gomez’s potential move to Newcastle falling through and Joel Matip’s departure.
Liverpool is also considering the futures of several other defenders, including Sepp van den Berg, Nat Phillips, Rhys Williams, and Billy Koumetio. The club’s decision not to pursue Leny Yoro is reportedly unrelated to Gomez’s situation.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring Guehi, with Crystal Palace reportedly valuing him at a minimum of £65 million. The Eagles are attempting to secure Guehi on a new long-term contract.
This information comes from various sources, including The Athletic, Liverpool Echo, and MailOnline.
