Liverpool Set to Wait on Marc Guéhi Free Transfer as Real Madrid Links Surface

Crystal Palace’s captain is in his final contract year after a £35m move collapsed on deadline day.

Overview

  • Liverpool Echo reports the champions are unlikely to bid in the next window, with Guéhi viewed as a target for next summer.
  • Reports say Liverpool had agreed personal terms and completed medical checks before Palace blocked the sale due to the lack of a replacement.
  • With his deal expiring next summer, overseas clubs can open pre-contract talks in January, raising the risk of rival agreements.
  • CaughtOffside, citing The Times, says Liverpool have cooled a January push to instead aim for a free transfer at season’s end.
  • Defensa Central reports Guéhi would choose Real Madrid if Liverpool do not proceed, with separate reporting noting Liverpool’s stance could shift depending on Ibrahima Konaté’s contract situation.
