Liverpool’s struggle to secure a new center-back for two consecutive years is well-documented. While they have managed with the emergence of Jarell Quansah, this may pose future challenges.
Currently, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the preferred center-back duo, with Quansah providing backup. Joe Gomez, a fan favorite, is rarely utilized these days.
Therefore, acquiring a new center-back is crucial for the Reds. Recent reports suggest that Liverpool is interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, who is also keen on a move to Anfield.
According to TBR Football, Liverpool’s pursuit of the 24-year-old has gained momentum, as Crystal Palace may consider selling him in January if he does not agree to a new contract before his current deal expires in 2026.
For a long time, England’s center-back situation revolved around John Stones and Harry Maguire, leaving the third spot open. With Maguire injured for the Euros, Guehi was selected and proved to be one of the best performers, at times outshining Stones. However, he has struggled to replicate that form with Palace this season, despite having the chance to captain the team.
It remains uncertain if Liverpool will make a formal offer for Guehi in January, but securing him would be a significant move for the club. Only time will reveal if the 24-year-old will play at Anfield in the future.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Arne Slot is thrilled with the ‘fantastic’ Liverpool player
Liverpool faced disappointment this summer after failing to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Zubimendi turned down the opportunity, leaving the Reds without a recognized defensive midfielder. Coach Arne Slot ultimately chose to work with his current squad, utilizing Ryan Gravenberch in the holding midfield position.
Arne Slot is thrilled with Ryan Gravenberch
Gravenberch has excelled this season, and according to Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go Podcast, Liverpool is thrilled with his performances. Romano noted the sentiment of the Liverpool manager regarding Gravenberch:
“Zubimendi clearly rejected Liverpool in the summer, but the deal didn’t happen because the player wanted to continue there.
We will see what happens, but that situation remains quiet and also Liverpool and Arne Slot are very happy with Ryan Gravenberch; he is doing fantastic, he’s almost Man of the Match in every game, so for Liverpool, this is the best news possible.”
Ryan Gravenberch must maintain his performance
Ryan Gravenberch has emerged as one of the standout players in the Premier League this season. Recent comparisons to Patrick Vieira are fitting given his impressive performances. However, it’s still early in the campaign.
With just five matches played, Gravenberch must maintain this level of play to remain in the conversation as one of the top players. Consistency is crucial in the Premier League, and to be regarded among the best, he needs to deliver throughout the entire season.
Gravenberch has always possessed the talent; now it’s essential for him to demonstrate that consistency over the long haul.
