Anfield is buzzing tonight with one of the most anticipated defensive transfers of the summer. Liverpool have officially agreed a £35m fixed fee deal with Crystal Palace for highly-rated centre-back Marc Guehi, with an additional 10% sell-on clause included in the agreement. The England international, who has been a standout performer in the Premier League over the past two seasons, is now set to become the latest reinforcement under Arne Slot’s reign.

Guehi is currently undergoing his medical in London, with the final paperwork expected to be signed before midnight. Once completed, he will put pen to paper on a long-term contract, bringing to an end weeks of speculation about his future. Sources close to the player confirm that Guehi only wanted Liverpool – he had already reached a personal agreement with the club at the start of August, turning down interest from other Premier League sides.

Liverpool’s defensive rebuild has been a clear priority this summer. With Joel Matip’s exit and Ibrahima Konaté’s fitness concerns, the Reds needed a strong, reliable, and Premier League-proven centre-back. At just 24 years old, Guehi offers not only top-level defensive quality but also long-term stability for a side aiming to challenge on all fronts.

But that’s not all – Guehi’s arrival comes alongside another major move. Liverpool have confirmed their double-transfer plan: Guehi  Isak. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak remains the top attacking target, with Liverpool’s hierarchy pushing to finalize that deal next after securing Guehi.

The atmosphere among Liverpool fans is electric. One step closer to solidifying the backline, and with the prospect of adding one of Europe’s most lethal strikers, the message is clear: Arne Slot’s Liverpool are not here to take part – they are here to dominate.
