Marc Guehi Liverpool Transfer is now official as the Premier League champions have reached an agreement with Crystal Palace for the England centre-back. The 25-year-old defender will complete his medical in London on Monday before signing a long-term contract at Anfield.
The two clubs settled the deal after Liverpool’s initial £35 million bid, which included a ten percent sell-on clause, was adjusted into a compromise fee. This makes Guehi the club’s second major signing on transfer deadline day, coming just hours after Liverpool confirmed a £125 million move for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
On Sunday evening, Guehi wore the captain’s armband for Palace in their 3-0 victory at Aston Villa, scoring a stunning second goal in his final outing for the club. After the match he declined to speak about the transfer, instead praising his teammates. “All I know is when you score goals like that it is always down to team performance. People will try to single out the goal but that was a clear team performance tonight,” he said.
Since joining Palace from Chelsea in 2021, Guehi has become a central figure, making 155 appearances and guiding the club to their first-ever major trophy in last season’s FA Cup. His international record is also impressive with 23 senior England caps.
The Marc Guehi Liverpool Transfer adds to a record-breaking summer window for the Reds. Liverpool’s spending has now climbed to about £451.2 million, excluding add-ons, the highest figure in Premier League history. Alongside Guehi and Isak, the club has also recruited Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi, and Giovanni Leoni.
Departures have balanced some of the outlay, with Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tyler Morton, and Ben Doak leaving Anfield for an initial return of about £190 million.
