Liverpool Transfer News: Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi January Window Stance ‘Revealed’ as ‘Big Clubs Queue Up’ for Centre-Back
As the January transfer window approaches, Crystal Palace find themselves in the spotlight once again — this time due to growing interest in one of their most prized assets, defender Marc Guéhi. The England international has become a central figure at Selhurst Park under Oliver Glasner, and his consistent performances have not gone unnoticed by several Premier League giants, including Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal, all reportedly monitoring his situation closely.
Liverpool’s Defensive Concerns Spark Guéhi Interest
Liverpool’s defensive line, while still formidable, has faced moments of uncertainty this season. With Virgil van Dijk entering the later stages of his career and Ibrahima Konaté battling fitness issues, Jurgen Klopp’s side is understood to be exploring long-term reinforcements. Guéhi, 24, fits the profile perfectly — young, composed under pressure, and already proven at Premier League level.
According to several reports, Liverpool’s scouts have been tracking Guéhi since the start of last season. His leadership qualities, intelligent positioning, and ability to play out from the back make him a natural fit for Klopp’s high-pressing system. The Reds, however, are not alone in the chase. Manchester United, struggling to stabilize their defense, and Arsenal, keen to bolster depth behind Gabriel and William Saliba, have also shown significant interest.
Crystal Palace’s Firm Stance
Despite the growing attention, Crystal Palace are adamant they will not sanction a mid-season sale of Guéhi unless an “extraordinary offer” arrives. Club insiders reportedly view him as integral to the long-term project under Glasner, who has transformed the team’s defensive organization since taking charge.
Sources close to the club have suggested that Palace’s hierarchy, led by chairman Steve Parish, believe selling a key player like Guéhi in January could derail the club’s ambitions of finishing in the top half of the Premier League table. The Eagles are also aware that they stand to make an even bigger profit if they wait until the summer, when competition for his signature will likely intensify.
In 2021, Palace secured Guéhi from Chelsea for around £18 million, and the defender has since evolved into one of the most reliable centre-backs in English football. His performances for the England national team have only increased his value, with transfer market analysts estimating his current worth at £50–60 million.
