Liverpool’s Guehi gamble invites Atletico raid

Marc Guehi
November 2025

Liverpool are ready to revive their pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, but now face strong competition from Atletico Madrid and other European clubs, with the defender having turned down new terms and able to sign a pre contract with foreign sides from 1 January. A £35m transfer collapsed on deadline day when Palace pulled out without a replacement, a call now haunting Liverpool as defensive injuries and missed targets like Martin Zubimendi and Leny Yoro stack up, while Atleti can tempt Guehi with a free move next summer and secure Champions League football.
