Inter Milan are now reportedly monitoring Marc Guehi’s situation at the tail-end of the summer transfer window.
It remains to be seen whether the Serie A giants will provide serious competition to Liverpool for the Crystal Palace defender’s signature.
Either way, the Reds hold a sizeable advantage in negotiations, given the centre-back is understood to be especially keen on an Anfield switch.
Could Inter Milan beat Liverpool to Marc Guehi transfer?
Ahad Shaukat over transfer news connoisseurs CaughtOffside now reports that Cristian Chivu’s side have identified Guehi as a target for 2026.
That’s unsurprising to hear, of course, given that the England international’s current contract is set to expire in less than a year’s time.
Otherwise, one might imagine a price-tag in the region of £40m (or the £40m-45m Palace are looking for) would seriously deter Inter Milan.
We still have serious doubts, however, over the Italians’ ability to beat out Liverpool interest, regardless of whether there’s a deal to be done this summer or in the next.
Ultimately, we’re still pretty confident that Liverpool can get a deal for Guehi over the line. That’s increasingly so after the CAS ruling on Crystal Palace’s membership of the Europa League this term didn’t go in their favour.
Why would Inter Milan need Marc Guehi?
You could forgive Inter for having one eye on the market given the ongoing links with starting centre-back Alessandro Bastoni.
Both Chelsea and Newcastle, for instance, have been listed as reported suitors for the 26-year-old defender.
So, there’s every chance the Serie A side could be in need of reinforcements next summer if interest in their defensive stalwart escalates.
Liverpool are still in talks over Premier League transfer
As far as we understand the situation here at Empire of the Kop, Liverpool are still locked in talks with Crystal Palace over the signing of Marc Guehi.
Ultimately, this is an area of the pitch we can’t really afford to skimp out on.
Even with Giovanni Leoni having completed his £26m move from Parma, Arne Slot can only rely on three senior centre-backs in 2025/26 between Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez.
A further defensive signing is a clear necessity – otherwise, we’re risking a defensive collapse of the kind of magnitude that hasn’t been seen since the 2020/21 campaign.

Sign Ghugi now. Why wait someone else will snap him up
Agree bro. Sign him tonight. Why waste more time? Konate has not signed a new contract and probably will not before he knows he got compensation. Give Palace their $40m. It is a shame if LFC are not willing to pay it for a proper centre-back.
Spot on! We simply must get this deal done ASAP.
Bring Guehi in now and put him alongside VVD and bench Konate. His time is up, his performances are poor and he lacks interest in playing for us
We will regret not signing a centre half.
Site should just change name to GarbageOfThe Kop.
Why? Because it will regurgitate any info just to get a click.
Sign Marc Guehi over Isak before it’s too late. £40 million will soon be forgotten when Liverpool lift the Premier League again. Konate’s head is away from Anfield, bench him to rot.
If you get £26 million for Doak, then paying £35-£40 million for Guehi is a good price
Correct!
It’s all very well trying to negotiate for a lower transfer price but as I recall we we £2M short when we tried to get Ronaldo,Man U paid the asking price and the rest is history. This has happened t o LFC on mire than one occasion. DON’T let it happen again.
Wait and palace will bottle it ….
Come on Liverpool we need Guehi now. Much more urgently than Isak.
