Liverpool planning another move for Marc Guehi

Wait 5 sec.

Liverpool are planning another move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, and a deal could be struck for significantly lower than agreed on deadline day.Guehi was left bitterly disappointed that a long-proposed move to Anfield fell through in the final hours of deadline day.Crystal Palace agreed a deal worth £35 million, plus a 10 percent sell-on clause, only to pull out due to manager Oliver Glasner threatening to quit if his captain was sold.That leaves Guehi unsettled at Selhurst Park and, into the final year of his contract, awaiting a move perhaps as early as January.Liverpool are set to make another approach for the 25-year-old, with the Mail‘s Lewis Steele reporting that the champions retain their interest.A new offer for the defender could come in the January transfer window, with those terms almost certain to fall way below the £35 million finalised on Monday.That comes with Guehi able to leave on a free transfer months later, with Palace knowing mid-season will be their final opportunity to cash in.OPINION: Why Liverpool could always afford to wait for Marc GuehiMuch will still depend on the London club being able to sign a replacement, with AC Milan‘s Strahinja Pavlovic a known target who could step into the void.The Athletic‘s James Pearce has relayed word from senior sources at Anfield that they were “surprised and disappointed at Palace’s late U-turn rather than angry.”That comes with an acknowledgement of Glasner’s needs as a manager and, likely, the already strong bank of centre-backs in Arne Slot‘s first-team squad.But despite having added Giovanni Leoni to Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez, Pearce also adds that it is “highly likely” Guehi will join them in the future.It is still unclear whether Liverpool would make another approach in January or simply wait until the summer when the England international is available for free.That could hinge on what happens in the coming months – for both Liverpool and Palace – as any major injuries could accelerate plans to strengthen Slot’s back line.As could a decision on Konate’s own future, with the Frenchman still in talks over a new contract but yet to make significant progress on an extension to a deal which expires next year, as Real Madrid loom.
