Liverpool Prepare Shock Cut-Price Bid for Marc Guéhi as January Transfer Window Heats Up

Reds push for £25–30M deal to secure Crystal Palace captain amid centre-back crisis.

Anfield is buzzing, Liverpool fans are on edge, and the January transfer window just got a whole lot more dramatic. Fresh reports claim that Liverpool are ready to submit a cut-price offer for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi, with insiders revealing that the club has reopened talks to bring the England international to Merseyside.

 

This comes at a time when Liverpool’s defensive structure is under immense pressure, forcing the club into swift action — action that could reshape their entire season.

Why Liverpool Want Guéhi Now — Not Summer, Not Later

 

Sources close to the club insist that the urgency stems from growing uncertainty around the future of Ibrahima Konaté.

 

With:

 

Injuries repeatedly halting Konaté’s progress,

 

His form fluctuating,

 

Rumours of interest from Europe’s biggest clubs…

 

 

Liverpool know they cannot afford to gamble with their defence any longer.

 

A shaky back line has cost precious points already this season, and Arne Slot is said to have demanded reinforcements immediately.

 

This is where Guéhi steps in — a leader, a Premier League-proven defender, and a player who has already worn the captain’s armband at Crystal Palace with authority well beyond his years.

The Bid That Shocked Everyone: £25–30 Million

 

Here’s where things get explosive:

 

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a £25-30 million bid — a fee far below the previously expected valuation of £45–50 million.

 

To fans and pundits, this seems almost impossible.

To Liverpool, it’s a gamble worth taking.

To Crystal Palace, it’s a hard question coming at the worst possible time.

 

Sources claim the Reds believe they can:

 

Beat all competing clubs,

 

Move before Palace open official negotiations with anyone else,

 

And take advantage of Guéhi’s contract situation and the player’s desire for a step up.

 

 

It is the type of deal that, if pulled off, would be labelled a masterclass in modern transfer business.

Within minutes of the news breaking, Liverpool fans erupted online:

 

“Guéhi for 30M is daylight robbery!”

 

“This is exactly the profile we need — young, fast, composed.”

 

“If Konaté leaves, this is the PERFECT replacement.”

 

“Guéhi + Van Dijk? Title-defence level.”

 

 

The excitement is real. The tension is real.

And the window hasn’t even opened yet.

Football analysts are already breaking down the potential signing:

 

Elite 1v1 defending

 

Calmness under pressure

 

Strong positional awareness

 

Aerial dominance
