Overview
- Liverpool are working on a renewed January bid for the Crystal Palace defender after sources said the club accepts it mishandled the summer move.
- Reports say Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are pursuing Guehi, raising the likelihood of higher wages and agent fees if Liverpool try to complete a mid-season deal.
- The summer transfer fell through on deadline day despite an agreement of around £35m and a reported medical, with Palace pulling out as their Igor Julio replacement collapsed.
- Guehi’s contract expires at season’s end, allowing him to negotiate and sign a pre-agreement with overseas clubs from January.
- Palace are not expected to approve a sale without a replacement during a congested schedule, while pundits warn Liverpool’s form and Champions League outlook could affect the player’s choice.
