Liverpool would be ready to reopen their interest in Marc Guehi in the winter market, after Giovanni Leoni's serious injury left the team short in their defensive core.

Giovanni Leoni suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in his debut with the Reds during a Carabao Cup match. This absence would leave Liverpool with only three reliable center-backs to face the season.

Arne Slot and the board are now seriously considering resuming negotiations with Crystal Palace to sign Marc Guehi in January. Sources indicate that the defender was a long-standing desire of the club, frustrated in the summer after Palace canceled the agreement at the last minute.

Liverpool Reactivates Their Interest in Marc Guehi

Guehi, 25 years old and captain of Crystal Palace, is in the final year of his contract, expiring in June 2026.

In the summer, Liverpool offered around £35 million for him, an offer that was rejected. Now, with Leoni's injury, the club could take advantage to negotiate a lower figure or reach an early agreement.

Challenges Liverpool Faces to Secure Guehi

One of the main obstacles is convincing the London club to accept a sale in January, as they want to avoid losing him for free next summer.

There is also Guehi's willingness. Some reports indicate that he would prefer stability this season due to international competitions. Moving in winter may not be his preferred option.

Premier League, Defensive Options, and Strategic Context

Liverpool, the current Premier League champion, needs a strong fourth center-back after departures and injuries. Joe Gomez has a history of injuries, Ibrahima Konaté is not always available. With Leoni out for many months, a significant gap opens up.

Winning in the Premier League demands a deep squad. Having quality defenders available can make a difference in the final stretch of the season. Liverpool knows this, which is why Guehi is back on their radar.

Liverpool is at a defensive crossroads, and Marc Guehi emerges as the most immediate solution. If they negotiate well with Crystal Palace and get the player's willingness, January could be the time to sign him. The question is no longer if they will, but when.
