In a significant transfer development, Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has reportedly informed all interested clubs of his decision to join Liverpool. The England international has been one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe, attracting strong interest from several elite sides — including Real Madrid, who have now officially withdrawn from the race following Guehi’s preference for Anfield.
Sources close to the negotiations indicate that Guehi has already reached a full personal agreement with Liverpool, signaling his intent to make the move as soon as possible. However, the Reds are now weighing up whether to formalize their offer during the January transfer window or wait until the end of the season to complete the deal.
The 24-year-old has earned widespread praise for his composure, leadership, and tactical intelligence at the heart of Crystal Palace’s defense. Liverpool’s interest aligns with their long-term strategy to strengthen their defensive options and secure a successor capable of leading the backline for years to come.
With Real Madrid stepping aside and personal terms already settled, it now appears to be only a matter of timing before Guehi becomes the latest addition to Jürgen Klopp’s squad. The transfer could mark one of the defining moves of Liverpool’s next chapter.
