"Speaking to Ace Odds, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo, McAteer said: Being a free agent brings everyone into the conversation. It brings Bayern Munich in, it brings Real Madrid, Barcelona and other clubs in as well. If Liverpool drop off, there is no guarantee that they will qualify for the Champions League and that could be one thing which Guehi wants when moving as a free agent."
"Our most recent information remains that Liverpool are still confident about signing Guehi once his contract expires. Things could change, of course, but one imagines the Merseyside giants did a lot of work on this deal as they came so close to getting things over the line in the summer. With Ibrahima Konate another player coming towards the end of his contract next summer, it is surely vital for Liverpool to land a top class central defender like Guehi to replace him if he leaves."
Liverpool failed to complete a late move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, leaving him set to become a free agent next summer. Concerns exist that the missed opportunity and Liverpool's recent poor form could weaken their appeal if Champions League qualification is not assured. Major clubs such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona are likely to be interested in a free transfer. Liverpool remain confident they can sign Guehi when his contract expires. With Ibrahima Konate approaching the end of his contract, securing a top-class central defender like Guehi would be important.
