"As we roll through yet another international break, it gives us time to stop and take stock of where everything stands at this juncture in the season. Contenders are beginning to rise while other clubs are struggling for a variety of reasons. With that in mind, we are only a month and a half away from the January transfer window which means the rumor mill is soon to pick up steam once again."
"It wasn't until Palace manager Oliver Glasner stepped in and threatened to resign if his captain was sold on transfer deadline day that the FA Cup winners nixed the deal at the 11th hour. It was a brutal turn of events for the Reds, who as we have seen, could have used Guehi's services a lot over the last two months of action."
"However, now soon to enter the final six months of his contract, the England defender will surely have his choice of top clubs when he becomes a free agent this summer. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona are admirers alongside Liverpool, but it's the Reds who are still seen as favorites for his signature in the summer. His arrival could be huge as Ibrahima Konate has not yet signed a new long-term deal and might need replacing at the end of the season."
An international break provides a natural pause to assess team positions and transfer needs as contenders emerge and others falter. The January transfer window is a month and a half away and transfer speculation is set to intensify. Liverpool could be relatively quiet after heavy summer spending but continue to prioritize defensive reinforcements. Marc Guéhi came close to joining but Crystal Palace blocked a deadline-day exit after manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign. Guéhi enters the final six months of his contract and will attract interest from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool. Liverpool remain favorites, and a German defender has also emerged as an option.
