"At present, Liverpool appear to be leading the race. Sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside that Guehi has already given the green light to a move to Anfield, with personal terms believed to be agreed in principle. The Merseyside club tabled a 35 million bid, which has already been rejected by Palace, as per The Guardian. Arne Slot's side view Guehi as a long-term solution at centre-back, particularly given ongoing concerns about defensive depth."
"Meanwhile, Chelsea have re-entered the picture. The Blues, who developed Guehi in their academy before selling him to Palace in 2021, made an approach in recent days. They were looking to take advantage of what they perceived as a delay in negotiations between Palace and Liverpool. Chelsea's interest comes partly from their own situation. Should a defender like Axel Disasi leave Stamford Bridge before the window closes, the club would need a reliable replacement."
Marc Guehi is the focus of strong transfer interest from Liverpool and Chelsea as the deadline approaches. Liverpool appear to be ahead, with Guehi reportedly ready to move to Anfield and personal terms believed agreed in principle. Liverpool submitted a 35 million bid that Crystal Palace rejected, and Arne Slot's side view Guehi as a long-term centre-back solution amid defensive depth concerns. Chelsea have re-entered the pursuit, leveraging their role in Guehi's development and making a recent approach while monitoring their own defensive needs if Axel Disasi departs. Chelsea also plan to pursue Guehi as a free agent next year if a transfer fails.
