Liverpool unlikely to bid for Marc Guehi in January?

Liverpool are unlikely to go back for Marc Guehi in the January transfer window, according to BBC Sport. 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.

Mokbel told BBC Sport: “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.

“Of course, we know of their interest in Marc Guehi having come so close to signing him in the summer. Would they look to do that deal in January? Given Guehi is available for nothing at the end of the season, it makes little business sense to pay a fee for him in January.”
