According to prominent Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano, it has been confirmed that Liverpool are set to move forward with the signing of Marc Guehi as part of a potential triple transfer deal currently in motion.
Liverpool are preparing to submit a formal bid for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi this week after becoming aware of the Eagles’ valuation and nearing an agreement on personal terms, according to fresh reports.
Liverpool are preparing to submit a formal bid for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi this week after becoming aware of the Eagles’ valuation and nearing an agreement on personal terms, according to fresh reports. Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed that a domino effect involving a triple transfer move is now underway as a result of Liverpool’s plans.
The Merseyside club have already made a strong start to the summer window with the high-profile additions of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. With Milos Kerkez expected to follow shortly from Bournemouth, Liverpool are focusing on reinforcing their central defence — with Guehi firmly in their sights.
Guehi, who has been on Liverpool’s radar for over a year, could become the next major acquisition. His contract at Crystal Palace runs out next summer, giving the London club motivation to sell now rather than risk losing him on a free transfer. Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes has already made progress toward a deal, with personal terms between the club and the England international close to being finalised.
Romano reports that Liverpool will officially pursue Guehi after completing Jarell Quansah’s £35 million move to Bayer Leverkusen. The academy graduate’s transfer will include a buy-back clause, and his departure clears the path for Guehi’s potential arrival at Anfield.
Palace are reportedly lining up Sporting CP’s Ousmane Diomande as a replacement for Guehi. Romano confirmed on social media that once Quansah’s exit is finalised, Liverpool will activate their central defensive targets — with Guehi among their primary options. Diomande, who could cost between £40m and £50m, is already in advanced talks with Palace as they prepare for Guehi’s departure.
Crystal Palace are understood to value Guehi at around £75 million, but with just one year left on his contract, they may be willing to negotiate a deal closer to £45–50 million. Despite interest from other clubs like Tottenham and Newcastle, Liverpool are eager to move quickly and secure the defender.
There have been whispers that Guehi might consider running down his contract to open up a move abroad — with Barcelona reportedly monitoring the situation. However, journalist Ben Jacobs states that Palace are determined to sell this summer to avoid losing him for nothing, particularly as they aim to use the funds to complete a record deal for Diomande.
According to The Liverpool Echo’s Paul Gorst, Hughes is playing the long game in negotiations, hoping to land a favourable deal. Meanwhile, Harvey Elliott could be heading for the exit door, with a Premier League club reportedly lining up a £40 million bid for the midfielder.
Elsewhere, despite Liverpool being linked with Alexander Isak, Romano suggests the move is unlikely. However, the Reds are still exploring striker alternatives and have reportedly held talks with the agents of a forward who has scored 50 goals in recent seasons.
Marc Guehi’s potential arrival would represent a significant upgrade for Liverpool’s defence, especially in light of Quansah’s departure. His Premier League experience, composure, and consistent performances could make him a reliable asset for Arne Slot’s evolving team.
