Fabrizio Romano Provides Liverpool Update on Marc Guehi Ahead of January
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has shared fresh insight into Liverpool’s potential pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, as uncertainty continues around the England international’s future.
The Reds came close to securing Guehi in the final days of the summer transfer window, with reports confirming that a fee had been agreed and the player had even undergone a medical at Anfield. However, the deal collapsed when Palace failed to land a replacement in time.
With Guehi’s contract set to expire next summer, Palace had considered a sale to avoid losing him for free. His value will only decrease if no new agreement is reached, leaving the club with limited options as the January window approaches.
Romano’s Verdict
In his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano emphasized that Liverpool have made no final decision regarding a January move but confirmed Guehi remains firmly on their radar:
“Currently, nothing has been finalized. I can assure you of that. Liverpool will certainly keep Guehi on their list, but it is not yet determined whether they will pursue him in January.”
Guehi’s Frustration
Reports after deadline day revealed that Guehi was deeply disappointed by the failed transfer. The 24-year-old is believed to be preparing a statement, stressing that he fulfilled his obligations by continuing to play and train for Palace until the deal was pulled.
His professionalism stood in contrast to other players who pushed aggressively for moves this summer, such as Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa, both of whom publicly voiced their desire to leave before ultimately securing transfers. Guehi, by comparison, stayed committed to Palace—yet did not get the move he wanted.
What Next?
Liverpool’s interest in Guehi has not disappeared, but a January bid remains uncertain. With his contract situation unresolved and Palace running out of time to cash in, Guehi’s future is expected to be a major talking point once the winter window open
