Liverpool transfer target Marc Guehi won't move to Anfield if he's second-fiddle to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Liverpool is close to signing Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace for 35 million, strengthening their defense for the 2025-26 season.

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi's move to Anfield could be the ultimate bargain if Liverpool play the waiting game.

As a respected leader and captain for Palace, playfully referred to as "Uncle Marc" by his England team-mates because of his maturity and temperament, he fits into the culture Liverpool have fostered over this recent period of success.

Club sources have confirmed to TBR Football that Liverpool have agreed terms with Parma over a deal for defender Leoni, but in turn, their talks with Crystal Palace over Guehi have failed to be as successful. We can confirm teenager Leoni has agreed terms on a six-year deal and he is set to head to Merseyside straight away.

Eberechi Eze is in demand in north London, while Liverpool are back in for Marc Guehi and still chasing Alexander Isak.

Crystal Palace reportedly want Liverpool attacking midfielder Harvey Elliott to replace Tottenham Hotspur target Eberechi Eze. Palace and Liverpool are currently in talks over a deal to send Marc Guehi to Anfield, and Elliott could become part of the negotiations.
