Overview
- Liverpool are not expected to rival Manchester City for Marc Guehi, with multiple reports placing the Crystal Palace defender on the verge of a £20m move to the Etihad.
- Arne Slot said the club will act only if the right opportunity arises, noting alignment with sporting director Richard Hughes and ownership on transfer decisions.
- Reports note Liverpool pursued Guehi in the summer with a £35m bid that collapsed on deadline day after the player underwent a medical.
- Christian Falk of BILD reports Bayern Munich are no longer pursuing Lyon’s Malick Fofana, potentially easing competition should Liverpool decide to move for the forward.
- Liverpool’s senior-window activity remains limited as injuries to Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley (season-ending) and Alexander Isak’s recovery persist, with confirmed additions focused on the academy including Mor Talla Ndiaye and a reported move for Ifeanyi Ndukwe.
