Liverpool was deeply connected to Crystal Palace defender Mark Guech’s move in the summer transfer window.
England International had been receiving medical care in Liverpool ahead of the possibility of a move to Anfield, but Palace decided to change its stance at the last minute and keep the player in the club.
Guehi remained unhappy in the end, but with his final year at Selhurst Park, a future exit is currently being seen, especially after the latest updates for Sky Sports.
After the last minute collapse of that deal, recent events, particularly the long-term injury to Giovanni Leoni in Liverpool, rekindled stories about possible winter moves.
Sky Sports Reporter Tom White has provided an update on Guehi’s future at Crystal Palace, increasing the likelihood that Arne Slot will sign the defender during the January transfer period.
Crystal Palace accepted that Mark Guech wanted an exit
Reported White: “Interestingly, when we talk about Liverpool’s centre-back, there’s big news about Mark Guech, and Crystal Palace is said to be realistically accepting that Mark Guech’s era at the club is over.
“As for the player himself, he is calm about the next step, and remember that on the summer deadline he saw the move to Liverpool’s collapse.
Liverpool may sign Guehi in January
The latest update suggests that Liverpool may still shoot another shot with Guehi, and this time the situation may support them.
The palace’s apparent acceptance that his future is elsewhere, coupled with Liverpool’s new defensive urgency following Leoni’s injury, adds traction to the potential bid for January.
If Liverpool moves quickly and cleverly, their near misses could turn into a savvy midseason capture this summer.
The logical step from the palace’s perspective is to get cash to the defender in January, rather than losing him for free in the summer.
