Liverpool’s hopes of signing Marc Guehi are under serious threat with Real Madrid and Juventus now monitoring the Crystal Palace captain’s situation, according to sources.

Transfer Collapse and Renewed Interest

The England international came close to joining Liverpool on deadline day, only for Oliver Glasner to step in and block the move after Palace failed to find a replacement.

Guehi remains a key figure at Selhurst Park, but Liverpool are determined to reignite their pursuit either in January or next summer.

Talks between the Reds and the defender are believed to have already taken place, with Liverpool confident that early groundwork could give them an advantage when the market reopens.

However, the looming interest of Real Madrid and Juventus threatens to complicate matters.

Madrid’s Growing Influence

Real Madrid’s potential involvement could accelerate Guehi’s exit. Sources suggest Los Blancos may be willing to meet Palace’s £25million valuation to secure the defender sooner rather than later.

Their record of attracting top talent, particularly when free transfers are involved, makes them a formidable rival in the race for Guehi’s signature.

Liverpool are wary of Madrid’s recent dealings after losing Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Spanish giants for below market value earlier this summer.

The La Liga champions have also been linked with Ibrahima Konate, whose Anfield future remains uncertain.

Juventus Also in the Frame

Juventus are another club showing interest in Guehi. Known for capitalising on opportunities in the transfer market, the Italian giants could pose a real challenge should the player decide to explore options outside of England.

Liverpool’s Next Move

For now, Liverpool are hoping Guehi’s desire to play at Anfield will outweigh the lure of European heavyweights.

The club wanted to save money by waiting until next summer, but Madrid’s intervention could force them to act quicker. With defensive reinforcements high on Jürgen Klopp’s agenda, Guehi remains one of Liverpool’s top priorities heading into 2025.
