"Liverpool were heavily linked with a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in the summer transfer window. The England international had even undergone a medical at Liverpool ahead of a possible move to Anfield but Palace changed their stance in the last minute and decided to keep the player at the club. Guehi was left unhappy in the end but with his contract into the final year at Selhurst Park, a future exit is now looking likely."
"We are told that Crystal Palace, realistically, accepts that Marc Guehi's time at the club is coming to an end. We're told the club acknowledge it will be difficult to convince their captain to commit to his long-term future at Palace. As for the player himself, he's calm about the next steps. Remember, on deadline day in the summer, he saw a move to Liverpool collapse. They were close to getting him for 35m, however, Guehi stayed at Crystal Palace."
Marc Guehi nearly joined Liverpool in the summer, even undergoing a medical, but Crystal Palace withdrew and kept him at Selhurst Park. Guehi ended the window unhappy and now enters the final year of his contract, making an exit increasingly probable. Sky Sports reporting indicates Palace accept that Guehi's time is ending and that persuading him to sign a new long-term deal will be difficult. Guehi is described as calm about next steps and could depart either for a January fee or on a free transfer next summer. Liverpool's defensive urgency after a long-term injury increases the likelihood of renewed interest.
