Liverpool’s transfer plan revealed as they risk missing out to La Liga clubs

  /  autty

LIVERPOOL reportedly have a new stance on signing Marc Guehi.

The Reds came within a whisker of landing Crystal Palace's skipper in the summer transfer window.

The England international's move to Anfield collapsed on deadline day, despite both clubs agreeing a fee and the defender undergoing a medical.

SunSport exclusively revealed the move fell through as Palace - who tried to land Kop star Joe Gomez as part of the transfer - couldn't find a suitable replacement for their captain.

The Reds are still keen on signing the 25-year-old former Chelsea defender.

But according to The Times, they WON'T pursue his services in the January transfer window.

They claim the Kop club will only move for Guehi in the summer when he becomes a free agent.

A move for Guehi next summer will see the Merseysiders save a pretty penny when it comes to a transfer fee.

But they'll reportedly face stiff competition for his signature if they wait to sign him.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are said to both be keen on signing the centre-back.

And the prospect of playing for either of the European giants could prove to be more appealing to Guehi than remaining in the Premier League with Liverpool.

Neither Guehi nor Palace have commented on his failed move to Liverpool.

Guehi is expected to skipper the Eagles on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Sunderland to Selhurst Park.
