With Jarell Quansah‘s departure to Bayer Leverkusen and Ibrahima Konaté‘s uncertain signing of a new contract, Liverpool may be short of centre-backs within 12 months.
With these concerns, the media has begun discussing the potential addition of Marc Guéhi to the defensive ranks.
Crystal Palace rejected bids from Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur during the summer and winter transfer windows of last season, with the highest bid being £70 million.
The rejection of these bids means Crystal Palace will miss out on receiving another big-money bid because Guéhi’s contract expires next summer.
The media talks indicate that Liverpool are keen on Guéhi and hope to scoop him up for £35-40m.
This price could be lower if Liverpool decide to add a player trade to the deal, which has been rumoured.
This potential transfer would be excellent for both Guéhi and Liverpool.
Our scout report and player analysis will highlight Marc Guéhi style of play as a central defender, alongside comparisons to the current Reds centre-half pairing (Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté).
The analysis will also explore the possibility of Marc Guéhi signing and Konaté agreeing to a new contract, as well as how both players can be utilised together on the same team.
Cristhian Mosquera Scout Report At Valencia 2025/2026: Arsenal’s Next Centre-Back? – Player Analysis
Valencia have been gutted on the transfer market over the last few years.
After being taken over by Peter Lim about 10 years ago, the club aggressively signed many talented players, but with Lim losing interest in the club since the pandemic, Valencia have been more of a selling club.
Many talented players, such as Dani Parejo, Rodrigo Moreno, and Geoffrey Kondogbia, had to leave the club due to financial reasons, and the club plummeted out of the UEFA Champions League places in La Liga, eventually falling into the relegation zone.
Still, there were positives in these seasons for the club from Eastern Spain—mostly their academy.
With many players leaving, any Valencia manager over the last couple of seasons has been pretty much forced to fill holes with youth players, and the job of preparing them in the academy is fantastic for Los Che.
José Gaya has been a cornerstone for many years now, but over the last couple of years, multiple academy products have made a lasting impact in Valencia.
Players like Ferrán Torres, Carlos Soler, César Tarrega, Javi Guerra, and Yunus Musah have become stars in Valencia.
Another player following that path is Cristhian Mosquera.
Mosquera is a Valencia Academy product through and through.
He joined the club as a child and progressed through the academy ranks, making his debut at just 17 years of age.
For the past two years, Mosquera was the starting centre-back and leader of the defence for Valencia in La Liga while also being a Spanish U21 international and winning an Olympic gold medal in 2024.
These performances sparked interest from larger clubs, and it appears that the player has decided to leave this summer.
There are many potential suitors; RB Leipzig were interested earlier this summer, and Atlético Madrid have monitored him for a while now, but it seems like Mikel Arteta and Arsenal are going to beat other clubs to Cristhian Mosquera’s signature.
In this player analysis and scout report, we will examine what makes the young centre-back so special, where he already shines, in which areas he needs to improve, and why he would be a really good fit for Arteta’s Arsenal.
