In a significant transfer twist, Real Madrid have pulled out of the race to sign England defender Marc Guehi â a move that leaves Liverpool firmly in pole position to land the Crystal Palace star.
According to reports, Guehi has already communicated his preference: he wants a move to Anfield. The Palace captain is reportedly excited by the prospect of playing under Arne Slot and believes Liverpool offers the perfect stage for the next phase of his development.
With Madrid no longer competing for his signature, Liverpool are expected to accelerate talks over personal terms as they weigh up whether to table a bid in January or wait until the summer.
Guehiâs calmness on the ball, strong leadership, and ability to build from the back align perfectly with Slotâs defensive philosophy. For Liverpool supporters, this potential signing could signal the start of a refreshed era â and for Real Madrid, it represents a rare miss in the transfer market
