Liverpool are prepared to accelerate their move for **Marc Guéhi**, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Reds are ready to pay over **£30m (€35m)** to secure the defender **immediately**, rather than wait for his Crystal Palace contract to expire next summer.
### Player Says Yes
The England international has already given the green light to the move, eager to join Arne Slot’s squad at Anfield. Liverpool see him as a perfect long-term addition to their defensive ranks, providing competition and cover for Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and Jarell Quansah.
### Palace’s Key Condition
The deal now hinges on **Crystal Palace finding a replacement** before the transfer window closes. Palace are reluctant to weaken their back line without securing reinforcements, meaning negotiations could go right to the wire.
### Why Guéhi Fits Liverpool
At just 25, Guéhi has already established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent centre-backs. Composed on the ball, strong in duels, and comfortable in a high defensive line, he offers exactly the traits Liverpool demand from their defenders.
If completed, this would mark another smart investment by Liverpool — a player for the present and future, and one who could be central to their push for silverware this season.
