As a form of rejuvenating news for the Liverpool fans, Liverpool are now the primary suspects to obtain Marc Guehi’s signature. The news is truly rejuvenating because Liverpool have been going through a difficult phase in defense this season. This time, Liverpool will look to properly stamp their authority in this transfer. As Crystal Palace have already rejected a ยฃ35 million bid from Liverpool for Marc Guehi in the summer. The rejection was because Crystal Palace did not have backups ready for such an important player like Guehi.
How will Marc Guehi improve Liverpool?
If you’ve been even slightly following Liverpool’s season so far, you would know they are plagued with problems all around them. Manager Arne Slot’s job is in danger, and it is in danger for many good reasons. The Attack is toothless after the loss of Luiz Diaz. And the defense? Atrocious. It is all over the place as even star center-back and captain Virgil Van Dijk is at the end of a lot of defensive mistakes. The Reds somehow concede very early in basically every single game, and their defensive holes have never been this gaping open.
All of this mess and all of these plaguing defensive open holes are glaring alarms for Liverpool to improve. And most importantly, improve their defense. That is exactly why the signing of Marc Guehi will massively change the course for Liverpool. Despite the attack also being a visible issue, improving the defense is most important at this point.
Marc Guehi for Crystal Palace
On the other hand, you look at Crystal Palace, and they’ve had an absolutely flying start to the season. They ripped through all odds and put on a surprising show in every competition. As they sit at fifth position in the Premier League table, which is surprising in itself, they’ve also conceded only 9 goals so far. That is quite unreal from Palace because 9 goals are the second lowest goals conceded in the league, only behind Arsenal, who are basically the best defensive team in the world. The most pivotal reason for Palace’s defensive dominance? Their captain and defender Marc Guehi.
Guehi has truly made that center-back position his own and has stamped his name as one of the best defenders in England. He has had his best start to a season, which is obvious given Palace’s form this season. In all the games he has started, he clearly shines in his own way. Standing up tall in crucial defensive situations and covering vulnerable areas of the field, Guehi is doing it all for Crystal Palace.
Guehi’s transfer situation
It is a given that, Guehi, who has had such a brilliant season so far, is going to be swarmed by clubs by January. The January transfer window is going to see strong, serious offers come in for Marc Guehi. This time, Crystal Palace will have to seriously think about his sale, moving forward for the club’s cause. The two primary clubs who are in hot pursuit of Guehi’s signature are Bayern Munich and Liverpool. To Liverpool fans’ joy, their club has risen as frontrunners in this transfer race.
Conclusion
Now, celebrating and being jubilant definitely isn’t something Liverpool fans would be in the mood for. It is because of how poorly the team have turned up, with 9 losses in 12 games, which is unacceptable for Liverpool’s standards. However, this transfer news of possibly signing a defender of Marc Guehi’s quality could definitely provide them with some hope. As Guehi is a Premier League proven, solid center-back who is also a strong leader of men.
