Marc Guehi was very close to leaving the club for Liverpool during the summer transfer window, but the Eagles pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute. They believe that Liverpool will return for him in January. Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in the 25-year-old England international defender, as per Sky Sports.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up. There is no doubt that he is one of the finest defenders in the league right now, and it is hardly a surprise that top clubs are keen on securing his signature.
Crystal Palace are under pressure to sell the player in January. He will be out of contract at the end of the season and they will not want to lose a player of quality for free.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Liverpool are in desperate need of a quality central defender. They have looked quite vulnerable at the back and signing the Crystal Palace star could be a wise decision. If they can sign him for a nominal price in January, it will help them improve further and get their season back on track.
On the other hand, Barcelona and Real Madrid need more depth in the defensive unit as well. They will hope to secure a pre-contract agreement with the defender so that they can sign in for free at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Crystal Palace will certainly hope to sell him for some money in January instead of losing him for free at the end of the season.
The player was very keen on joining Liverpool during the summer transfer window, and it remains to be seen whether he still maintains that stance.
Liverpool will certainly hope to get the deal across the line in this time around.
