Overview
- Liverpool’s deadline‑day agreement for Guehi collapsed in the summer after Crystal Palace pulled the plug on a proposed £35m move.
- BBC Sport reporting, relayed by the Liverpool Echo, says Guehi is expected to see out his contract at Palace before leaving on a free.
- The England international can negotiate a pre‑contract with overseas clubs from January, increasing the risk Palace lose him without a fee.
- Liverpool’s center‑back options have thinned with Giovanni Leoni ruled out for the season, Joe Gomez sidelined recently, and Ibrahima Konaté struggling for consistency.
- Manager Arne Slot has avoided committing to January additions and stressed budget limits, while ex‑defender John Arne Riise said he wouldn’t be surprised by a January move.
