Liverpool are in the hunt for a new centre-back heading into 2025 and the Reds are reportedly considering a move for Crystal Palace star Mark Guihy.
The defender is expected to leave Selhurst Park next summer after coming close to doing so ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
Newcastle pushed hard to sign Guehi During the recent summer transfer window but were reluctant to match Crystal Palace’s high price – the Magpies’ final bid was worth £65m.
With the 24-year-old out of contract with the London club in 2026, the Eagles will be more open to selling the centre-back next summer and there are a number of clubs in the running for the England international.
Chelsea retain a long-term interest in bringing Guehi back club and accordingly Simon PhillipsThe Blues are seriously considering a move for the Crystal Palace star in January.
The West London club’s defender’s contract has a sell-on clause, which gives Chelsea an advantage in the race, as it could see the Blues land the Eagles defender at a discount to their rivals.

Liverpool are considering a £65million bid for Mark Guihy
According to the mirrorLiverpool are considering a £65m bid for Mark Guihy at Crystal Palace next summer as the Reds look to add a new central defender to their ranks.
Arne Slott’s current centre-back pairing is Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, but it remains uncertain whether the Dutch star will return next season as the Liverpool captain is out of contract with the club at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
The only way Guihir could get to Anfield is if the Netherlands international leaves, otherwise the £65m could be better spent elsewhere, as the Merseyside club are already blessed with very good options at centre-back.
