Premier League
Marc Guéhi emerges as one of the key names of the upcoming summer, with his contract at Crystal Palace set to expire and his future away from Selhurst Park. The top clubs in the world are in the race for the signing of the English defender, although all signs point towards Anfield.
The center-back has decided not to renew his contract with Crystal Palace, according to English media, and the British press has practically confirmed his move to Liverpool as a free agent. After several months of negotiations, the deal seems to be almost finalized.
For months now, several European giants have been tracking him, including Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but the sporting project at Anfield seems to be decisive. Crystal Palace tried to keep him, as they did last summer, but they have not succeeded.
Marc Guéhi and Liverpool's Plan
At Anfield, they see the Londoner as the ideal replacement to cover the likely departure of Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract is also expiring without signs of renewal.
Liverpool's management considers it crucial to strengthen their defense with young, solid profiles and with experience in the Premier League, criteria that Marc Guéhi firmly meets.
The player's circle remains silent, though internally they acknowledge that his time at Crystal Palace is inevitably coming to a close. His consistent performances, defensive leadership, and tactical awareness have placed him among the most reliable defenders in the British scene.

Crystal Palace Accepts Marc Guéhi's Departure
Crystal Palace is already working on defensive alternatives for Marc Guéhi's expected departure, aware that they are losing one of their key pillars. The London club understands that the contractual situation limits any room for negotiation and prioritizes planning for the upcoming season without their defensive reference.
Simultaneously, Liverpool is discreetly accelerating negotiations to secure a deal they deem strategic for their medium-term project. The potential signing has generated optimism among fans, who view Marc Guéhi as an immediate reinforcement to sustain domestic and European aspirations.
His defensive profile suits a style that seeks security, composure, and controlled build-up play from the first pass in high-pressure scenarios. In England, they insist that his decision is made, and only administrative details remain to formalize it at the end of the season.
Pending official confirmation, Liverpool has secured a major signing, the first of the 26/27 season. In a campaign where defensive issues are hampering the team, bringing in Marc Guéhi is a lifeline for one of the world's best clubs.
