Liverpool’s season has taken a worrying turn, and fresh reports suggest the club has quietly reopened discussions over a potential January signing that could steady the ship.
After the explosive spending spree that welcomed Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong to Anfield—totalling well over £400 million—the Reds were expected to storm into their title defence.
But tragedy struck early when Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre, sadly lost their lives in a car crash in Spain, leaving the club shaken. Even though the campaign started strongly with five straight wins, Liverpool’s momentum quickly collapsed. Slot’s men have since fallen apart, losing nine of their last thirteen matches.
With the January window approaching fast, attention has turned to Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, a long-term target whose name has resurfaced at exactly the moment Liverpool need defensive stability the most.
A Transfer That Slipped Away… Now Back On the Table?
Liverpool came close to sealing a £35 million deal for Guehi in the summer, but Palace pulled the plug late on after failing to secure a replacement.
According to TEAMtalk, the Reds are now ready to return to the table—this time with a revised offer believed to be between £25 million and £30 million. Guehi’s contract runs out at the end of the season, giving him the freedom to negotiate with foreign clubs ahead of a potential free move in the summer.
But Liverpool aren’t alone in the chase. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are all reportedly monitoring the 25-year-old England international.
What Slot Previously Said About the Deal
Back in September, Arne Slot openly admitted how close Liverpool came to landing Guehi, acknowledging that the failed attempt was frustrating for both club and player. Yet he insisted the squad still had depth in that position and hinted that the future could bring another opportunity.
That opportunity may have just arrived.
