Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is rumored to be on the verge of leaving the club when the transfer window reopens in January.
He is scheduled to become a free agent in the summer of 2026, and the Eagles could be pressured to sell him for a nominal price in January. They don’t want to lose a player of his quality on a free transfer. It would be ideal to let him leave the club for a reasonable amount of money.
The defender came very close to joining Liverpool in the summer transfer window, but the Reds are not favorites to sign him in January. According to Fabrizio Romano, there is intense competition to sign the England international, with several clubs showing an interest in him.
Marc Gehi is in demand
Romano said: Here We Go Podcast: “It’s going to be a big battle, a big, big battle for Marc Gehi. In fact, it’s going to be a huge battle involving several clubs.
“It’s true that Liverpool will be there in 2026, but more English clubs are interested in this player. He is always on the list of several clubs, including Newcastle for example.”
“And not only that, but from what I heard, the top clubs in Italy as well. Top clubs in Spain also started calling to understand the situation with Marc Gehi. Then there was also a call from Bayern.”
Liverpool need a player like Guehi.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can win the race for his signature. They are in dire need of quality defenders. Giovanni Leoni will miss the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. They need to replace him and the Crystal Palace star would be an unusual signing.
He is well established in the Premier League and could make an immediate impact. Liverpool need to improve their defense if they want to win major trophies this season. Guehi wants to play for a big club, where he could win big trophies.
