Marc Guehi or Dayot Upamecano: Who should be Liverpool's free transfer centre-back signing and why

Liverpool's Centre-Back Dilemma

Liverpool are expected to sign a centre-back in the 2026 summer transfer window due to uncertainty in their defence, particularly with Ibrahima Konate's contract ending next June.

The Reds previously attempted to sign Marc Guehi, but the move was unsuccessful. Guehi will be available for free next summer, making him a potential target, although Liverpool will face competition for the Crystal Palace captain.

Alternatively, Bayern Munich's Dayot Upamecano has been named as a potential target, with his contract also expiring in 2026, making him an attractive free agent option.

Liverpool are likely to face big competition for the Crystal Palace captain.

Liverpool must decide between Guehi and Upamecano as their next centre-back signing.

Author's summary: Liverpool need a new centre-back.
