Liverpool Eyes Marc Guehi to Bolster Defense
Anfield’s Defensive Revamp in Focus
Liverpool is reportedly interested in acquiring Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. This move could be in response to potential departures from their defensive lineup. The Reds are looking to strengthen their squad, with several key players possibly heading towards the exit.
Quansah’s Possible Exit and Leverkusen’s Interest
Jarell Quansah, who emerged under Jurgen Klopp, may leave Liverpool. Bayer Leverkusen is considering him to replace the departing Jonathan Tah. Leverkusen has a strong relationship with Liverpool, potentially influencing the deal.
Guehi Emerges as a Top Contender
Guehi is a potential replacement for Quansah. The England star is entering his final year at Selhurst Park. Previously, Crystal Palace sought £65 million for their captain, but their negotiating position has shifted. Liverpool has also scouted Sporting Lisbon defender Ousmane Diomande.
Ibrahima Konate’s future at Anfield is uncertain, as he is also in the last year of his contract. Joe Gomez remains at Liverpool, and new manager Arne Slot values his leadership. Liverpool is not actively pushing either Quansah or Gomez out the door.
Recent Liverpool Signings and Transfer Targets
Florian Wirtz is set to join Liverpool for a club-record fee, with medical tests scheduled. Liverpool has also secured Jeremie Frimpong. The club is also close to signing Milos Kerkez. Liverpool are also seeking a striker, with Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike as potential targets.
Andy Robertson may move to Atletico Madrid. Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa could also leave. Harvey Elliott’s game time might decrease, which could lead to a potential sale if a significant offer arrives. The Premier League’s spending on players has increased year-over-year, reaching record levels. (Statista 2024)
