Liverpool are actively pursuing Marc Guéhi, with reports suggesting the club remains fully committed to signing the Crystal Palace defender on a free transfer next summer. Renowned journalist Florian Plettenberg confirmed that talks are ongoing, emphasizing that “Liverpool are still giving everything to sign Marc Guéhi on a free transfer next summer, with ongoing talks taking place. The Reds are very concrete in their interest — as are Barcelona.”

However, Guéhi is reportedly waiting to see if Real Madrid enters the race, adding a high-profile twist to the transfer saga.
European Giants Eye Guéhi
Liverpool face significant competition from some of Europe’s top clubs. Plettenberg notes, “Guéhi are also waiting to see whether Real Madrid make a move.” Meanwhile, Barcelona continue scouting Premier League talent aggressively, favoring strategic free transfers to bolster their squad.
Bayern Munich is another contender, with Max Eberl reportedly expressing interest should Dayot Upamecano or Min-jae Kim depart. This positions Guéhi as one of Europe’s most coveted defensive assets, not just a free signing.
A Perfect Fit for Liverpool
Guéhi’s profile aligns perfectly with Liverpool’s defensive needs. Premier League-tested, tactically intelligent, calm under pressure, and capable of evolving into a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk, he represents a rare opportunity for Anfield to secure defensive stability.
Anfield Index analysis suggests that Guéhi could define Liverpool’s backline for the next five years. Unlike Madrid or Barcelona, Liverpool offer certainty — a clear tactical role, a settled dressing room, and a manager renowned for developing defenders.
The advice from a fan perspective is clear: Liverpool must act decisively. Offering Guéhi a concrete project now, rather than waiting for other European giants to intervene, may be the difference in securing a player capable of becoming a long-term leader at Anfield.
