Inter Milan and Liverpool in race to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi
Inter Milan are stepping up their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, but they now face stiff competition from Liverpool, who have entered the race with strong interest, according to TEAMtalk. The 24-year-old centre-back has had an impressive rise in English football and is widely regarded as one of the top defensive talents in the Premier League.
Guehi, who made 155 appearances for Crystal Palace, scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists, enjoyed a standout 2024/25 campaign. His performances were instrumental in Palace’s historic FA Cup triumph — the club’s first major trophy. Appointed captain by manager Oliver Glasner, Guehi played a central role in their cup run, showcasing his leadership and defensive solidity.
His strong form has not gone unnoticed. Inter Milan are looking to bolster their defence, particularly amid uncertainty surrounding centre-back Yann Bisseck. The young German has drawn interest from multiple Premier League clubs, potentially leaving a gap in Inter’s backline. TEAMtalk reports that Inter have made renewed contact with Crystal Palace this week, following up on an initial inquiry earlier in the transfer window.
However, Inter are not alone in their pursuit. Liverpool, known for their aggressive yet strategic recruitment, have also entered the frame. With Virgil van Dijk nearing the twilight of his career and defensive depth becoming a concern, Guehi has emerged as a top target for the Anfield club. His Premier League experience and international pedigree — he has 23 caps for England — make him an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s evolving squad.
Euro Football Rumours
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is eager to retain his key players as he prepares the team for a Europa League campaign next season. Guehi’s leadership, consistency, and composure are seen as vital assets in what will be a demanding fixture schedule. Nonetheless, with his contract set to expire in 2026, the upcoming transfer window presents one of the last opportunities for Palace to secure a significant fee for their star defender.
Palace’s position is complicated. While they want to keep Guehi, the financial and competitive lure of clubs like Inter and Liverpool could prove too tempting for both the player and the club. Should Guehi push for a move, it’s expected that Palace will demand a premium fee, potentially sparking a bidding war between the two European giants.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on Guehi’s next move. Whether he heads to Italy to anchor Inter’s backline or stays in England to strengthen Liverpool’s defence, his future promises to be one of the biggest storylines of the off-season.
