19 Nov 2025

Crystal Palace are bracing for a potential January transfer window move for their star defender, Marc Guehi.

As per Sky Sports News, the club believes that only Liverpool are likely to make a move for the England international during this period.

Other top European clubs interested in Guehi are expected to wait until next summer when he becomes a free agent.

Here are further details.

Liverpool's continued interest in Guehi
Transfer talks

Liverpool's interest in Guehi has not waned since a failed £35 million deal on Deadline Day this summer.

The club is now weighing its options between signing him in January or waiting for a free transfer next summer.

However, they face stiff competition from other European giants, including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.

Guehi's current contract situation and injury update
Contract status

Guehi's current contract with Crystal Palace runs until June 30, 2025. He has already told the club that he won't be signing a new deal and plans to leave next year.

The England international is also free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs when the January transfer window opens on New Year's Day.

He recently withdrew from the England squad due to a foot injury but is expected to return for Saturday's match against Wolves.

Liverpool's defensive woes and potential solutions
Defensive struggles

Liverpool have struggled defensively this season, with only Burnley, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Wolves conceding more expected goals (xG) than them.

New signing Milos Kerkez has struggled to settle at left-back while Trent Alexander-Arnold's permanent replacement on the other side is yet to be found.

The uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konate's future at the club hasn't helped either.

Crystal Palace are not expecting any other key players to leave in January, apart from the possible exit of Guehi.

The club had several center-back targets to replace him in the summer and will look to add depth at this position if he leaves.

They are also aware of rising interest from other clubs in players like Colombia right-back Daniel Munoz, France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, and England midfielder Adam Wharton.
