Crystal Palace believe only Liverpool may attempt to sign Marc Guehi in January | OneFootball

Crystal Palace believe that only Liverpool may attempt to sign Marc Guehi in the winter transfer window, per Sky Sports. 

The Eagles feel that the other major European clubs interested in the England international are only looking to sign him as a free agent next summer. 

Liverpool came close to sealing a deal for Guehi on deadline day of the summer window, but Palace blocked the move at the last moment.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old, while Bayern Munich are also keen. However, they are unlikely to move for him until next summer. 

Liverpool need defensive reinforcements after enduring a challenging start to the season. 

They lost Giovanni Leoni to a long-term injury, while there is uncertainty around the future of Ibrahima Konate, whose contract at Anfield expires next summer. 

Guehi has earned rave reviews since joining Palace from Chelsea for £18 million in 2021.

He has made 173 appearances across all competitions, bagging nine goals and seven assists. 

Guehi has been instrumental for Palace this season, starting 10 top-flight matches and making three direct goal contributions.
