After weeks of speculation, fresh reports suggest that the Reds could finally be edging closer to securing their **long-term defensive target** from Crystal Palace.
### The Latest Twist
According to insider whispers, Liverpool’s hierarchy remain in constant dialogue with Palace, with optimism growing behind the scenes that Guehi might be allowed to leave if the Eagles lock down a suitable replacement.
One respected journalist teased the situation with:
*“I have heard Liverpool are much closer to Guehi than many expect. The deal isn’t dead — in fact, it could be revived late.”*
That cryptic update has set social media ablaze.
### Why Guehi Matters
Arne Slot has already overseen a refresh in midfield and attack, but bolstering Liverpool’s defence has been a priority since the summer began. Guehi, 23, has long been admired for his composure, aerial presence, and leadership at the back — qualities that make him the perfect long-term partner for Virgil van Dijk and successor in the years ahead.
With Joel Matip gone and Ibrahima Konaté struggling with fitness, Guehi’s arrival could provide the Reds with exactly the stability they need in their backline.

### Fan Buzz at Anfield
Liverpool supporters are losing their minds at the thought of pairing **Alexander Isak’s blockbuster arrival up front** with **Marc Guehi’s solidity at the back**.
Twitter (X) is filled with reactions like:
* *“If we get Guehi, this is the best transfer window in PL history. No debate.”*
* *“Imagine Isak scoring and Guehi shutting everything down. Arne Slot cooking something special.”*
Whether this deal crosses the finish line remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Guehi to Liverpool is the story every fan is watching as the clock ticks down.
