Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi was without question one of England’s stars during their run to the Euro 2024 Final. The former Chelsea centre-back always seemed to be part of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the tournament – but he may have been forced to watch on from the bench had Harry Maguire’s injury problems not prevented him from securing a place on the place. Guehi, to his credit, has seized his opportunity with both hands and produced a number of positive displays alongside Manchester City star John Stones.
Although highly-rated by several clubs across the Premier League and around Europe, Guehi is now reportedly set to receive an offer from Liverpool after transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano ‘confirmed’ the Reds had been monitoring his progress ‘for a long time’ – although he also revealed negotiations with Palace would be ‘a different story’.
Speaking on his PlayBack Live transfer show, he said: “Marc Guehi has been linked with Liverpool. I can tell you that Liverpool have been scouting the player for a long time. He’s a player they like, for sure. But at the moment, I can tell you that Liverpool are negotiating for Marc Guehi, because at the moment, the situation is quiet around him. Obviously there is the Euros, so after the Euros, we will see the appreciation of Liverpool for the player. I can confirm to you, but not only Liverpool – there are also other clubs, for example Arsenal and many others who appreciate the player. But in terms of the bid, in terms of the negotiations, it is a different story.”
