The latest Liverpool transfer news as they continue to be linked with a swoop for Crystal Palace’s captain.
Liverpool are plotting a sensational swoop for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi this summer—and they may already have two secret weapons working behind the scenes to ensure the deal gets done!
As the Reds prepare to face Palace in the Community Shield this weekend, all eyes will be on Guehi, who has been confirmed by manager Oliver Glasner to wear the armband despite swirling transfer rumors. With just one year left on his contract, Palace face a crucial decision: cash in now or risk losing him for free in 2025.
While Chelsea, Guehi’s former club, have cooled their interest, Liverpool are lurking—and they have a cunning plan to lure the England international to Anfield.
The Gomez & Jones Factor: Inside Liverpool’s Persuasion Game
Liverpool’s Joe Gomez and Curtis Jones could be the Reds’ ultimate trump cards in this transfer battle. Both have shared the England dressing room with Guehi in recent camps, giving them the perfect opportunity to plant the seed of a Merseyside move.
Sources suggest Gomez and Jones have been subtly working on Guehi during training sessions and downtime with the Three Lions, selling him on Liverpool’s project under Arne Slot. Their inside access could prove pivotal in convincing the 23-year-old to push for a switch.
Community Shield: The Perfect Scouting Opportunity
Sunday’s clash at Wembley isn’t just about silverware—it’s a golden chance for Liverpool to see Guehi up close before making their move. The Reds are reportedly monitoring his performance closely, knowing Palace’s asking price could drop as the window progresses.
With Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and Gomez as the only senior centre-back options, Liverpool are in desperate need of reinforcements. Guehi’s composure, leadership, and Premier League experience make him an ideal target—and the Reds are ready to play the long game to get him.
The Waiting Game: Will Palace Budge?
Liverpool’s strategy hinges on Palace’s willingness to negotiate. If the Eagles hold firm on a high valuation, the Reds may bide their time, banking on Guehi’s contract situation forcing a compromise.
But with Gomez and Jones already laying the groundwork, and Guehi’s future uncertain, this transfer saga could take a dramatic turn—and Liverpool’s secret weapons might just be the key to unlocking the deal.
