"But what makes the Guehi situation harder is, even if Liverpool or another club want him in January and Crystal Palace are prepared to sell him, he is not necessarily wanting to move mid-season. It's a World Cup year, so he'll want stability and also knows he will become a free agent, so he can take his pick of clubs and probably get a higher wage. I think it's going to be difficult for Guehi to move in January."
"Guehi would be an excellent addition. He could make an instant impact at Liverpool and help them improve. They had agreed on a deal with him in the summer, and the player completed his medical with them as well. If the defender refuses to join Liverpool in January, they will have to move quickly and secure other alternatives. They simply cannot go through the entire season with just three defenders at their disposal."
Liverpool need a quality central defender in the January transfer window after Giovanni Leoni's injury. The club are expected to pursue Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, whom they failed to sign in the summer despite agreeing a deal and the player completing a medical. Ben Jacobs believes the 25-year-old will prefer stability ahead of a World Cup and may resist a mid-season move. Guehi becomes a free agent in the summer and could take his pick of clubs and command a higher wage. If Guehi declines a January move, Liverpool must quickly identify alternative recruits to avoid operating with just three senior defenders.
