Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are set to go head-to-head in a high-stakes transfer battle for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer. The 23-year-old centre-back has emerged as one of the most sought-after talents in the Premier League following his impressive performances for the Eagles.
£60 Million Price Tag for England International
Palace are reportedly demanding at least £60 million for their star defender, who has become a mainstay in Gareth Southgate's England squad. Guehi's current contract runs until 2026, giving the London club strong negotiating power in any potential deal.
Liverpool's Defensive Revamp
Liverpool view Guehi as the perfect candidate to strengthen their backline as new manager Arne Slot prepares for his first season at Anfield. The Reds are keen to add quality depth to their defence following Joel Matip's departure.
Tottenham's Homegrown Push
Tottenham, meanwhile, see Guehi as an ideal solution to their defensive issues while also helping them meet Premier League homegrown player requirements. Manager Ange Postecoglou is determined to build a squad capable of challenging for Champions League qualification.
Guehi's Rising Stock
The former Chelsea academy product has developed into one of the league's most reliable defenders since joining Palace in 2021. His composure on the ball, aerial ability and leadership qualities have made him a complete modern centre-back.
With both Liverpool and Tottenham prepared to spend big this summer, this transfer saga looks set to dominate headlines in the coming weeks as the battle for Guehi's signature intensifies.
