### Deal Agreed
After weeks of speculation, multiple reports confirm that both clubs have reached a full agreement. Guehi is expected to sign a **long-term contract**, with his medical scheduled in the coming days. The 24-year-old defender had been high on Liverpool’s radar since July, and sources insist the move was “never in doubt.”
### Palace’s Captain Follows Familiar Path
The deal mirrors the situation of **Eberechi Eze**, who has also been linked with top Premier League sides this summer. Palace chairman **Steve Parish** had initially been reluctant to let his skipper leave, but Liverpool’s persistence — and financial muscle — has sealed the transfer.
### Why Guehi?
Liverpool’s defensive rebuild under Arne Slot demanded reinforcements, and Guehi’s mix of leadership, Premier League experience, and composure on the ball made him a top target. The England international will now compete for a starting role alongside Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and Jarell Quansah.
### The Bigger Picture
This signing continues Liverpool’s summer of aggressive squad restructuring. With Marc Guehi secured, the Reds look better prepared for both domestic and European battles ahead.
**Key Takeaway:** Liverpool’s patience has paid off — Marc Guehi is Anfield-bound in a £40m move, with his medical already on the horizon.
