In a major development this transfer window, England international Marc Guéhi has reportedly agreed to a move to Liverpool — but only under one surprising condition that has left fans and pundits buzzing with speculation. 😱
🧠 The Condition?
Sources close to the deal reveal that Guéhi has asked for guarantees regarding his role, demanding:
> 🔐 “A starting centre-back position alongside Ibrahima Konaté or Virgil van Dijk — not just squad rotation.”
He wants assurance that he will not just be a backup option but a key figure in Arne Slot’s defensive plans going forward.

📈 Why Guéhi Makes Sense for Liverpool:
✅ Premier League-proven defender
🧱 Strong, intelligent, composed under pressure
🧠 Leadership qualities beyond his years
🔄 Would be ideal in a system transitioning from Klopp to Arne Slot’s high-line, ball-playing philosophy
—
🔴 Liverpool’s Stance:
Liverpool are willing to meet his demand, as they see Guéhi as:
The natural long-term successor to van Dijk
A potential leader in the next defensive era
A player with the right attitude and experience to compete at the top
—
👀 What This Means:
With Guéhi’s agreement on the table, this move is on the verge of being completed — provided Liverpool deliver on their end of the promise.
⚠️ Now it’s up to the club to finalize the fee with Crystal Palace — who are holding out for £50-60 million.
—
🔥 Verdict: A bold, smart move if it goes through. Guéhi is ready to step up — and Liverpool could
be getting a rock-solid defender for years to come.
