Liverpool have made a significant move in the summer transfer window, officially securing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in a deal worth £45 million, potentially rising to £50 million with add-ons. The 24-year-old England international has signed a five-year contract, with an option for a sixth year, and will earn around £120,000 per week at Anfield.
Following weeks of speculation and negotiations, Liverpool have acquired one of the Premier League’s most promising centre-backs. Guehi’s composure on the ball, dominance in the air, and leadership qualities convinced Liverpool’s recruitment team that he was the ideal addition to strengthen Arne Slot’s defensive lineup.
Slot, in his first transfer window as Liverpool manager, was keen to bring in a top-quality defender to provide competition and stability alongside Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and Jarell Quansah. Guehi not only brings defensive solidity but also excels at building play from the back — a crucial aspect of Slot’s tactical approach.
“Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and playing at Anfield is a dream for any player,” Guehi said. “I’m eager to get started, learn from my teammates, and help the club succeed this season and beyond.”
Fans have welcomed the signing enthusiastically on social media, viewing it as a clear statement of intent. Many see Guehi’s arrival as vital for Liverpool’s ambitions to challenge for the Premier League and make a strong impact in Europe once again.
With Guehi now officially on board, Liverpool have reinforced a key position, sending a clear message that under Arne Slot, the Reds are ready to compete for top honors again.
