“I’m Ready to Sign for Liverpool TODAY… But Only If He Leaves”: Marc Guehi Sets Stunning Condition for Anfield Move
BREAKING NEWS:
England and Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, one of Liverpool’s top defensive targets, has reportedly issued a surprising ultimatum regarding his potential transfer to Anfield — and it centers on a current Reds defender.
According to multiple insider sources, Guehi has privately told close contacts:
“I’m ready to join Liverpool today… if he’s no longer there.”
The “he” in question? Ibrahima Konaté.
While Guehi is keen on the move and attracted by Liverpool’s ambitions under Arne Slot, he’s said to be wary of a crowded defensive setup, particularly with Konaté’s presence in the squad.
With Virgil van Dijk still the team’s defensive leader and Jarell Quansah rapidly emerging as a regular, Guehi reportedly views Konaté as the biggest obstacle to securing a consistent starting role — something the 23-year-old is unwilling to compromise on.
Sources close to Guehi say the defender wants clarity about his future and has no intention of being just another squad option. He sees himself as a future leader at the back and wants to be central to Liverpool’s plans — a goal he believes is unachievable if Konaté remains.
The reported demand has sparked fierce debate among Liverpool fans and within the club’s recruitment hierarchy. While Guehi’s confidence and ambition are seen as positives, such a firm condition has caught many off guard.
However, the situation is not entirely unthinkable. Konaté’s inconsistency and ongoing fitness issues have left some at Liverpool questioning his long-term reliability. In that light, Guehi — known for his composure, durability, and leadership — could be seen as a more dependable successor to Van Dijk.
The question now is simple but seismic:
Will Liverpool consider moving on from Konaté to secure Marc Guehi?
This development could signal the start of a major defensive shake-up at Anfield — and perhaps, the end of an era for one of its current stars
