Liverpool's summer expenditures have been set to continue, but their newest relocation with a big money can also give a neat financial benefit for their colleague Premier League side Chelsea
The relocation of Liverpool for Marc Guehi could have a knock-on effect for Premier League-rival Chelsea. Mirror Football understands that the blues rose a 20 percent clause when they allowed Guehi to join the current Club Crystal Palace, which means that an Anfield switch would give them a neat sum.
Van Guehi is expected to leave Palace this summer instead of leaving for a free when his contract ends in 2026. A move to Anfield would see that Premier League champions Liverpool continued an expenditure spree that went after £ 200 million.
More than half of that amount can be attributed to the British record movement for Florian Wirtz. The side of Arne Slot has also added to their back line, with Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong on board, while Cooimhin Kelleher and Trent Alexander-Arnold belong to those who have left.
Palace, who paid £ 18 million for Guehi in 2021, appreciates the center-back at around £ 70 million. It is unlikely that Liverpool will go so high, with an amount of £ 40 million presented as a more likely central ground, and this would still see Chelsea Netto £ 8 million.
Liverpool can also allow a movement for Guehi to approve an exit for Jarell Quansah. The graduated Academy, which played 25 times in all competitions, is linked to a move to Bayer Leverkusen.
A windfall for Chelsea can let them do further additions to the team this summer. They have already been busy and have deals on the line for their club World Cup campaign in the United States on time.
Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr all participated in the time for the tournament, just like Mike Penders after a deal for the keeper had agreed last year. The side of Enzo Maresca, however, chose a relocation for lending Jadon Sancho and paid a fine to send the winger back to Manchester United.
Chelsea finished second in their club World Cup group and faces Benfica in the round of 16. The Portuguese club stood at their group after a victory over Bayern Munich, and Maresca does not want to underestimate them.
“Now we are in a knockout game and in a knockout game everything can happen,” he said reporters. “That is not only for us, it is for every club, and the players are aware that at the moment the team that makes the most mistakes will be the team that is back home the next day.
“The most important thing is the way we prepare ourselves. It is very complicated at the moment, for many reasons to see games where the difference between the two teams is tall. They are more or less very close, and it is a game where the details will make the difference.”
