Liverpool’s interest in Marc Guehi has been steady for a while.

As the summer window gets closer, talk around his future is starting to pick up.

The Crystal Palace defender has impressed enough to stay not only on the Reds’ list but on others’ as well, and the coming months could be key in deciding his next move.

Guehi fits the profile Liverpool want.

He is young, composed, and already proven in the Premier League.

Injuries in the backline and the need for fresh legs mean Liverpool will almost certainly move for a centre-back this summer.

But in a market where many clubs are looking for defenders, it was always likely that Liverpool would not be the only side circling.

Now, as the summer nears, the race for Guehi is heating up.

Fabrizio Romano posted on X, “Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle remain all keen on signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace as he’s been on their lists for months.”

It shows that Liverpool are not alone in their admiration, even though Romano’s update doesn’t rule the Reds out — it just highlights those three clubs as being in the hunt too.

The situation is becoming delicate.

Romano also added that “there’s also a possibility Guehi goes on free transfer in 2026 if a deal can’t be agreed this summer.”

That has naturally made clubs more aggressive in their approach.

Liverpool’s previous talks with Guehi’s camp, exclusively revealed by DaveOCKOP, underline the Reds’ serious interest.

At the time, the report stated, “Liverpool have held talks with Marc Guehi’s representatives.”

DaveOCKOP further reported that “the talks, which held earlier this week over a number of days, signal a potential move that could fortify The Reds’ backline ahead of a season where Arne Slot’s men will likely be looking to keep up the momentum of this year and challenge for major honours once again.”

It’s important to note that the agency representing Guehi also manages other players like Anthony Gordon, meaning multiple names could have been discussed.

Still, the main focus was believed to be Guehi.

One more important detail: Guehi would count as a homegrown player, a factor that only boosts his value to Liverpool.

This summer could be decisive.
