<p>Tottenham submitted a late bid for Guehi during the winter transfer window, which was swiftly turned down by Crystal Palace. Since then, Liverpool have entered the picture this summer and are now <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/liverpool-make-final-gbp40m-offer-for-marc-guehi-reds-submit-take-it-or-leave-it-bid-for-crystal-palace-ace/blt538092c5f130eb09" target="_blank">considered frontrunners for the centre-back</a> amidst Ibrahima Konate's uncertain future. However, <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/07/21/tottenham-transfers-marc-guehi-liverpool-rival-son-korea/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a> has now reported that Spurs are still monitoring the situation and could yet return with a fresh offer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Spurs already boast strong depth at centre-back, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin on their books. However, with Romero entering the final two years of his deal and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-stand-firm-cristian-romero-price-tag-atletico-madrid-pressure/blt4fdd68f85b936080#cs4252b1fb121e88e1" target="_blank">interest coming from Spain</a>, the club may be planning ahead. As such, the potential signing of Guehi could be a strategic move to future-proof the defence or cover potential exits this summer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Liverpool’s interest in Guehi appears serious, but Palace’s valuation remains high given the defender’s key role and leadership qualities. Guehi, now in the final year of his contract, faces a pivotal decision this summer. Tottenham are also keeping tabs on Bournemouth’s Illia Zabarnyi, though Paris Saint-Germain are currently leading the race for the Ukrainian.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Tottenham are expected to decide in the coming weeks whether to formally re-enter the race for Guehi. Much will depend on outgoings and how their defensive setup evolves during pre-season. With Liverpool circling, Spurs may need to act quickly if they hope to land the Crystal Palace star.</p>
