Anfield is alive tonight as Liverpool close in on one of the standout defensive signings of the summer. The Reds have struck a deal worth £35m with Crystal Palace for centre-back Marc Guehi, with a 10% sell-on clause also included. The England international, who has consistently impressed in the Premier League over the last two seasons, is set to become the latest addition under Arne Slot.
Guehi is currently completing his medical in London, with the paperwork expected to be finalized before midnight. Once done, he will sign a long-term contract, ending weeks of speculation surrounding his future. Sources close to him reveal that Liverpool was always his preferred destination—he had agreed personal terms with the club in early August, rejecting offers from elsewhere in the league.
Reinforcing the backline has been a top priority for Liverpool this summer. With Joel Matip departing and ongoing injury worries for Ibrahima Konaté, the club needed a dependable, Premier League-proven defender. At 24, Guehi brings both immediate quality and long-term security to a side determined to compete on every front.
And the rebuild doesn’t stop there. Liverpool’s transfer strategy is clear: Guehi ➕ Isak. Having secured the centre-back, they are now pushing to land Newcastle striker Alexander Isak as their marquee attacking signing.
Excitement among supporters is soaring. With Guehi set to bolster the defense and the possibility of one of Europe’s most clinical forwards arriving next, the message is clear—Arne Slot’s Liverpool are aiming not just to compete, but to dominate.
The summer revolution at Anfield is officially underway. 🔥
