Liverpool Monitor Marc Guehi Situation as Contract Enters Final Year

Liverpool are closely monitoring developments around Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, who officially enters the final 12 months of his current deal this week. According to BBC Sport, the Reds are among a number of Premier League clubs showing interest in the 24-year-old centre-back, who has impressed for both club and country in recent seasons.

Guehi’s situation has attracted growing attention due to his contract status, with Palace potentially forced to consider offers this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year. However, several key factors will play a role in whether Liverpool make a formal move.

One of the main considerations will be the financial outlay required to sign the England international. Despite Guehi’s contract winding down, Palace are expected to demand a significant fee for one of their most valuable assets. Liverpool must weigh this against other transfer priorities and their current centre-back options, with Jarell Quansah’s emergence and Ibrahima Konaté’s fitness also in the mix.

In addition, Liverpool’s new head coach Arne Slot will have a say in shaping the defensive recruitment strategy, with pre-season assessments likely to influence whether a move is pursued.

While interest in Guehi is clear, formal negotiations or bids may depend on how Palace respond to inquiries, as well as the player’s own willingness to push for a move. For now, Liverpool are watching closely — but whether that turns into concrete action remains to be seen.
