Liverpool set to pay more than £40m for Guehi as Palace sticks to valuation

Crystal Palace value Marc Guehi at more than £40m, and Liverpool have held talks about signing him this window, though there is a clear gap between valuation and bid.

Guehi is happy at Palace and would talk if the fee matched his standing, but his move would depend on whether Liverpool can justify the cost and balance other defensive needs.

Liverpool’s pursuit shows how a title winner blends restraint with ambition in a crowded market. Paying a premium now can secure a long‑term starter, but it risks overspending if the player later becomes available for less or for nothing.

Palace’s leverage hinges on Europe and the risk of losing Guehi on a free next year. The deal could ripple through both clubs’ strategic plans, from squad depth to financial budgeting.
