Liverpool are on the hunt for a new centre-back ahead of 2025 and the Reds are reportedly considering a move for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.
The defender is expected to leave Selhurst Park next summer after coming close to doing so ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
Newcastle pushed hard to sign Guehi during the last summer transfer window, but were unwilling to match Crystal Palace’s high asking price – the Magpies’ final bid was worth it. £65 million.
With the 24-year-old out of contract at the London club until 2026, the Eagles will be more open to selling the centre-back next summer and there are a number of clubs in the running for the England international.
Chelsea have had a long-term interest in bringing back Guehi at the club and second Simon Phillipsthe Blues are seriously considering a move for the Crystal Palace star in January.
The west London club have a sell-on clause in the defender’s contract, which gives Chelsea an advantage in the race as it could see the Blues land the Eagles defender at a discount to their rivals
Unfortunately for Chelsea, a strong rival could enter the race for Guehi in 2025.

Liverpool are considering a £65m bid for Marc Guehi
according to The MirrorLiverpool are considering making a £65m bid to Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi next summer as the Reds look to add a new centre-back to their ranks.
Arne Slot’s current central pairing is Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, but it remains to be seen whether the Dutch star will return next season as the Liverpool captain is out of contract at the club at the end of the 2024 campaign /25.
The only way Guehi can get to Anfield is if the Netherlands international leaves, otherwise the £65m could be better spent elsewhere as the Merseyside club already have plenty of options at centre-back.
