Liverpool have reportedly received a significant boost in their pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, following encouraging updates regarding his personal stance and Palace’s situation, according to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness.
With Anfield undergoing a summer reshaping after high-profile signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, a move for Guehi appears to be gaining traction.
Liverpool’s defensive depth has shifted dramatically this summer. With Jarell Quansah exiting and questions surrounding Ibrahima Konate’s future, there’s a clear need for reinforcements.
The addition of Guehi, a Premier League and England-level defender, would not only address this gap but bring quality and experience to the team.

Wyness told Football Insider:
“It would be a no-brainer for them (Liverpool) if they can get hold of him, and all the noises coming out of the Marc Guehi camp are that he’s keen to go.
“I think it’s a fantastic deal. I think Palace also recognise that I think he’s got just another year left on his contract. So they’d like to cash in as well. All parties could be very happy.
“If you remember the days when Virgil van Dijk came from Southampton, he was a big-money signing at the time, but he’s proven to be a superb buy. He’s done really well. I think he and Guehi, if they can keep fit, would be fantastic.
“I’m frightened to say it, but yes, it’s going to be a good signing for Liverpool and I think it will go through.”
