Liverpool remains keen on signing Marc Guehi, balks at £40m valuation.
Premier League giants Liverpool have expressed strong interest in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according to today's transfer discussions. However, the club has reportedly balked at Palace’s £40 million valuation for the England international.
Palace stands firm on the fee after pushing for substantial reinforcement at centre-back. Sources suggest Liverpool may seek a compromise via performance-based add-ons or a loan-to-buy structure rather than meeting the outright price.
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s management remains determined to strengthen their defensive line ahead of next season, even as they explore alternative targets if negotiations stall. The club is also frustrated over delays in the Alexander Isak pursuit, adding urgency to secure defensive depth.
Fans are watching closely as both sides continue indirect talks. Liverpool supporters hope Guehi’s arrival would bolster the squad’s backline, while Palace fans hope to retain a homegrown star unless the fee reflects his true value.
