Liverpool are looking for a new centre-back for 2025 and it is reported that the Reds are considering a move for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.
The defender is expected to leave Selhurst Park next summer after coming close to doing so ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Newcastle pushed hard to sign Guehi during the last summer transfer window, but were unwilling to match Crystal Palace’s high asking price – the Magpies’ latest offer was reportedly worth it 65 million pounds.
With the 24-year-old’s contract with the London club expiring in 2026, the Eagles will be more open to selling the centre-back next summer and there are several clubs in the running for the England international.
Chelsea had a long-term interest in bringing Guehi back to the club and according to Simon PhillipsThe Blues are seriously considering a move for the Crystal Palace star in January.
The west London club has a sell-on clause in the defender’s contract, giving Chelsea an advantage in the race as the Blues could sign the Eagles defender at a reduced price compared to their rivals.
Unfortunately for Chelsea, a major rival could enter the race for Guehi in 2025.

Liverpool are considering a £65m bid for Marc Guehi
Accordingly The mirrorLiverpool are considering making a £65million offer to Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi next summer as the Reds are keen to add a new centre-back to their ranks.
Arne Slot’s current central defender pairing consists of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate. However, it remains uncertain whether the Dutch star will return next season as the Liverpool captain’s contract with the club ends at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The only way for Guehi to get to Anfield is if the Netherlands international leaves, otherwise the £65m could be better spent elsewhere as the Merseyside club are already blessed with very good options at centre-back.
