"The defending Premier League champions were close to a deal for Guehi with Crystal Palace in the summer of 2025, but the Eagles pulled the plug late on. While Liverpool remain keen on Guehi, BBC Sport senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has noted that the Reds are unlikely to pay for him in the January transfer window if they are able to sign him on a free transfer next summer."
"They will be open to doing business, for sure. It is clear that they were probably short of one centre-back - they definitely are now following the season-ending ACL injury suffered by Giovanni Leoni. Going into the rest of the season with just three centre-backs in Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez is a risk, so if there is an opportunity to sign one in the winter window then they will consider it."
Liverpool were close to signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2025, but that transfer collapsed late. Liverpool remain interested in Guehi but are unlikely to pay a mid-season fee if he can be signed as a free agent at the end of the season. Giovanni Leoni's season-ending ACL injury has left Liverpool short of centre-back cover with Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez the current senior options. Liverpool will consider a winter centre-back signing if the opportunity arises, but financial logic makes a January fee for Guehi unlikely.
