Liverpool Are Still In Talks To Land This Crystal Palace Star: Dream Signing For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent post on X, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that Liverpool are still in talks to land Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. It has been claimed that the Reds are eager to get a deal done for the English talent in the transfer window, but are willing to wait and sign him on a free transfer next summer.

Guehi’s Impressive Form In The Premier League

Guehi was a rock at the back for Crystal Palace last season when he produced a string of solid displays for them on the defensive end of the field. The English defensive ace featured in 44 matches for the London club in the previous campaign, scoring three times and earning a couple of assists in various competitions.

The 25-year-old was a solid presence when defending inside his half as he made 61 tackles, 55 blocks and 28 interceptions in the Premier League. He was even accurate when distributing the ball from the back after completing 83.5% of his attempted passes in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

Guehi’s current deal at Selhurst Park will run out next summer, which could open the door for the Reds to sign him on a cut-price deal in this transfer window.

Will Guehi Be A Dream Signing For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?

Guehi is a tough-tackling defender who can time his challenges well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and can play his way out from the back.

The English talent has already proven himself in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the Merseyside club. Plus, he is on an expiring contract, which makes him an affordable option for the Reds to pursue this summer.

Guehi would bring more quality and depth to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s defence. He is good enough to compete for regular first-team football at Anfield this season.

At 25, Guehi has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a dream signing for the Merseyside giants to pull off in this transfer window. He could even help the Reds challenge for even more major trophies in the future.
