"Liverpool are reportedly now the clear favourites to seal the transfer of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as Real Madrid look to be out of the race. The England international is coming towards the end of his contract with Palace, making him a free agent in time for next summer's transfer window. As previously reported for CaughtOffside, Liverpool remain confident of signing Guehi even after missing out on him in the summer."
"One imagines we might still see some further twists and turns in this saga, but overall it seems that Guehi is still focusing on Liverpool as his next club. LFC came so close to signing the 25-year-old in the summer until Palace cancelled the deal late on, but it seems he'll still get his wish to move to Anfield. AS do also mention Bayern Munich, however, so it will be interesting to see if they can still hijack the deal at some point."
Marc Guehi is nearing the end of his Crystal Palace contract and will become a free agent next summer. Liverpool are the clear favourites to sign the England centre-back after coming close in the summer transfer window. Real Madrid appear unlikely to pursue the transfer because of Guehi's wage demands. Bayern Munich have been mentioned as potential alternative suitors. Liverpool could recruit Guehi as a replacement if Ibrahima Konate departs when his contract expires. Liverpool may still try to persuade Konate to sign a new deal, but a free-agent swap is considered ideal business.
