Marc Guehi’s arrival to Liverpool in doubt as the Reds reportedly shift focus to four center-back targets

Despite Marc Guehi’s arrival being considered a top priority as free agent, competition for his signing has complicated his move to Liverpool. As a result, the Reds have decided to shift their focus and are now targeting four defenders ahead of the 2026–27 season.

Marc Guehi has been considered a potential addition to bolster Arne Slot’s defensive consistency throughout the 2025–26 season. However, the English center back could not make the move to Anfield because Crystal Palace failed to secure a replacement in time.
