Liverpool Close In on Marc Guehi as Palace See Reds as Only Likely January Bidder

Sky Sports reports European suitors prefer to wait for a free transfer, leaving Palace weighing a mid-season sale to avoid losing their captain for nothing.

Overview

  • Sources cited by Yahoo Sports say Liverpool are nearing an agreement to sign the Crystal Palace captain after months of pursuit.
  • Sky Sports understands Palace believe only Liverpool may move in January, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona expected to wait until he is a free agent.
  • Guehi has declined a new deal and his contract expires on June 30, positioning him to leave for free if no winter transfer is agreed.
  • The Daily Mail, via Football Talk, reports Manchester United are preparing an attempt to hijack Liverpool’s pursuit, which remains unconfirmed.
  • Last summer’s late £35m switch to Anfield collapsed despite a medical after Palace failed to secure a replacement, shaping today’s high-stakes scenario.
