Liverpool are said to have submitted an offer in the region of \u00a325m for Marc Guehi ahead of the January window, according to a well-regarded X (formerly Twitter) source.<\/p>\n
The England defender\u2019s contract runs until the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n
Alongside the Guehi pursuit, Liverpool are also believed to be weighing up a move for Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo.<\/p>\n
Could Marc Guehi head to Anfield in January?<\/p>\n
A claim circulating on X suggests Liverpool\u2019s opening proposal is \u201caround \u00a325m\u201d plus add-ons. Importantly, Crystal Palace have yet to accept or reject the offer for the centre-half, who Ezri Konsa recently described as \u201cworld-class.\u201d<\/p>\n
This follows reports that Liverpool had agreed a \u00a335m deal for the player during the summer, only for Palace to pull the plug.<\/p>\n
As CEO Steve Parish later explained, keeping Guehi made more sense given the club\u2019s qualification for the Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n
> \u201cIf the difference between keeping Marc and letting him go was simply finishing between 10th and 14th, we\u2019d probably have taken the money,\u201d Parish told talkSPORT.
\n\u201cBut with European football and our aim to finish in the top half, we felt it was the right call to keep him.\u201d<\/p>\n
That logic remains intact. In fact, with Palace currently just one point off the Champions League spots in fifth, they\u2019re arguably even less inclined to cash in on their key defender.<\/p>\n
Guehi has been vital this season, posting an impressive 7.46\/10 average rating in the league\u2014highlighting why a mid-season sale would severely undermine their push for a record Premier League finish.<\/p>\n

Could Bayern or Real Madrid hijack the deal?<\/p>\n
Reports suggest Europe\u2019s top clubs increasingly believe Guehi is on course for a Liverpool move.
\nChristian Falk (CF Bayern Insider) notes that Bayern Munich haven\u2019t fully given up on a transfer, while Real Madrid hold similar views, but both clubs consider Liverpool the frontrunners\u2014either in January or in the summer.<\/p>\n
Does Guehi solve Liverpool\u2019s defensive issues?<\/p>\n
One concern is that Guehi isn\u2019t dominant in the air. With Liverpool already struggling against long balls and set pieces, adding a 6ft centre-back (compared to Van Dijk and Konat\u00e9 at 6’4″) doesn\u2019t directly solve those problems.<\/p>\n
However, he is composed in possession and has shown greater consistency than Konat\u00e9 this season.<\/p>\n
Liverpool need a defender who remains steady under pressure\u2014and Guehi fits that profile.
\nThat said, Arne Slot still has tactical work to do to stabilise this faltering Liverpool side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
