Liverpool eye Guehi move as Palace weigh transfer decision

Liverpool have opened negotiations with Crystal Palace over a potential move for Marc Guehi, the England international who has 12 months left on his contract. Palace have suggested Guehi’s future needs to be sorted before the transfer window closes on September 1, and no breakthrough has been reported yet. Liverpool are among several clubs to have shown interest in the central defender.

A new twist in the market emerges as reports claim Arsenal could offer Jakub Kiwior to Palace as part of a deal to sign Eberechi Eze, in a move that could influence Guehi’s price tag. The Independent says Arsenal has rekindled interest in Eze as they seek to beat rivals and seal a midfield addition. If Palace did receive Kiwior in any exchange, it might soften their asking price for Guehi. Previous bids for Guehi from Newcastle and Tottenham, and interest from Barcelona and Juventus, underline the defender’s growing market sensitivity.

The episode illustrates how swap deals can redefine value in a crowded summer market. If Palace accept a Kiwior component, Guehi’s price could shift because the sale would not be about a single player but a package that alters perceived worth. For Liverpool, the prospect of a deal hinges on balancing short-term defensive needs with long-term costs, including wages and contract length. Palace, meanwhile, can press for favorable terms knowing they hold a valuable bargaining chip in Kiwior and a potential Eze sale.

Beyond Guehi, the talks highlight how several big clubs are circling the same targets, using exchanges and conditional moves to test price thresholds. Arsenal’s reported interest in Eze and their willingness to deploy a swap shows how transfer strategies are evolving. As the window ticks toward September, fans should expect negotiated compromises rather than definitive breakthroughs, with leverage shifting as offers are revised.
