DEAL DONE‼️: Liverpool officially complete £45m signing of Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace – Arne Slot secures defensive reinforcement.

Liverpool have made a major statement in the summer transfer market with the official signing of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in a deal worth £45 million, potentially rising to £50 million with add-ons. The 24-year-old England international has put pen to paper on a five-year contract, with the option of extending for a sixth year, and will earn approximately £120,000 per week at Anfield.

After weeks of negotiations and speculation, the Reds have finally landed one of the Premier League’s most highly-rated centre-backs. Guehi’s composure on the ball, aerial dominance, and leadership qualities convinced Liverpool’s recruitment team that he was the perfect signing to strengthen Arne Slot’s defensive options.

Slot, who is overseeing his first transfer window as Liverpool manager, was determined to bring in a top-class defender to provide competition and stability alongside Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and Jarell Quansah. Guehi ticks every box, not only for his defensive qualities but also for his ability to build play from the back — a key feature in Slot’s tactical philosophy.

“Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and playing at Anfield is a dream for any player,” Guehi said in his first words as a Red. “I can’t wait to get started, to learn from my teammates, and to help the club achieve success this season and beyond.”

Liverpool fans have reacted with excitement across social media, hailing the move as a statement of intent. Many believe Guehi’s arrival will be crucial as the Reds aim to challenge for the Premier League title and compete deep into Europe once again.

With this signing officially wrapped up, Liverpool have strengthened a key area of their squad — and the message is clear: under Arne Slot, the Reds are ready to fight for glory again.
