Liverpool Target Marc Guehi: 2026 Free Move in Play as Man City Enter Race

Liverpool now intend to wait for a 2026 free transfer, setting up a multi-club battle once pre-contract talks open in January.

Overview

  • Crystal Palace cancelled an agreed £35m deal plus a 10% sell-on to Liverpool on deadline day despite the defender completing a medical.
  • Liverpool are not expected to return in January and are reported to be confident of securing Guehi as a free agent next summer.
  • Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Palace would consider a January sale near €20m, a figure reported elsewhere as speculative and unconfirmed.
  • Manchester City have been linked as new contenders for 2026, with Bayern Munich also touted as an option by journalist Christian Falk, and reports additionally naming Real Madrid and Barcelona.
  • Guehi remains Palace captain and addressed supporters positively, while manager Oliver Glasner denied any rift and praised the player’s professionalism.
