The Athletic: Liverpool won't sign Marc Guehi this winter but next summer

According to The Athletic, Liverpool wants to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi on a free transfer next summer.

25-year-old Guehi failed to transfer to Liverpool at the last minute this summer. With his current contract expiring next June, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid are all considered interested in the English center-back.

Now, according to The Athletic, Liverpool is currently considering waiting until Guehi's contract with Crystal Palace expires and then bringing him to Anfield on a free transfer. One of the reasons for the Reds' conservative strategy is that they have just experienced a summer with record transfer spending, which makes them inclined not to make major signings in the winter transfer window.

The report further points out that the only question is whether Liverpool can get a head start and reach an agreement with Guehi first, because if Crystal Palace wants to prevent their captain from leaving for free next summer, they must try to sell him during the winter transfer window in the event that the two sides cannot reach an agreement on contract renewal.
