“I’ll Sign for Liverpool Today — But Only If He’s Gone!” – Marc Guehi Sets Bold Condition for Anfield Transfer
BREAKING NEWS:
Marc Guehi, the Crystal Palace and England centre-back, has reportedly made a bold demand amid growing speculation about a potential move to Liverpool. The 23-year-old defender is said to be ready to join the Reds immediately — but under one very specific condition.
According to insider sources, Guehi has privately told those close to him:
“I’m ready to sign for Liverpool today… as long as he isn’t there.”
The player he’s referring to? Ibrahima Konaté.
Guehi, known for his calm presence and consistent performances for both club and country, is reportedly concerned about breaking into Liverpool’s already competitive defensive lineup. With Virgil van Dijk still anchoring the backline and rising star Jarell Quansah pushing for more minutes, Guehi sees Konaté as the primary obstacle to securing regular game time.
Sources suggest Guehi is unwilling to join a squad where he might be sidelined and wants clear assurances about his role. He views himself as a potential leader in defence — not a bench option — and fears Konaté’s presence could hinder his long-term development at Anfield.
His condition has raised eyebrows among fans and the club’s recruitment team. While Guehi’s quality and leadership potential are evident, few expected such a direct ultimatum from a transfer target.
Interestingly, Liverpool might not dismiss the demand entirely. Konaté has shown inconsistency and has struggled with injuries, which could prompt the club to reassess his future. Guehi, in contrast, is seen as a reliable and composed figure — possibly a natural successor to Van Dijk.
Now, the major question looms:
Will Liverpool choose to let go of Konaté to make room for Guehi?
This development could signal the start of a major shake-up in Liverpool’s defensive structure.
