Journalist reveals Marc Guehi’s stance on potential Liverpool move | OneFootball

Liverpool’s Guehi Gamble Far From Over

Marc Guehi’s name refuses to drift from Liverpool’s radar. The England international looked destined for Anfield late in the summer, only for Crystal Palace to pull the plug on deadline day. A £35m agreement was in place, yet no replacement meant the Eagles froze the move.

Now fresh reports during the international break suggest the door is wide open again. Mick Brown insists Guehi remains Liverpool’s “top target”, while Florian Plettenberg claims Bayern Munich are “looking concretely” at the 25-year-old. That alone signals danger. When Bayern enter the conversation, every club pays attention.

Open Mind, Open Market

Transfer insider Dean Jones told TeamTalk that Guehi remains “interested” in Liverpool, but supporters hoping for a red-tinted declaration of intent may be disappointed.

“He is looking at things from a fresh perspective now. His approach to a transfer is unclouded by past thoughts,” Jones said. “Of course there was a sense of disappointment when his move to Liverpool fell through, but some of the reports were over the top in terms of his reaction. He always knew there was a chance that deal could collapse, and he’s a level-headed player who knows other opportunities are ahead of him.”

“He did want to join Liverpool and is still interested, but now the situation is completely open. I don’t think he is any more likely to commit to Anfield than any other major club at this moment. I understand he’s looking at everything with fresh eyes and Bayern could well become a very interesting option.”

Defensive Reinforcement Still Required

Whether Guehi is ready to commit or not, Liverpool’s need remains. Ibrahima Konaté has under a year left on his deal, and even if renewed, the depth behind him is minimal. Slot has restored authority at the back, yet long-term planning requires more than short-term stability.

Richard Hughes laid the groundwork in the summer, and that work should not go to waste. Waiting for Bayern to turn admiration into action would be negligent. If Liverpool still view Guehi as the right profile, they must move with conviction.

Bayern’s Shadow Looms

Harry Kane’s success in Germany will not go unnoticed by fellow England internationals. Munich offers stability, silverware and structure. Liverpool must counter with legacy, culture and the Premier League champion status they currently hold.

The question is not whether Guehi is good enough. It is whether Liverpool can afford to let someone else dictate the pace of this pursuit.

Our View – Anfield Index Analysis

Liverpool fans will read this report with mixed emotions. On one hand, it is encouraging that Guehi still “did want to join Liverpool” and has not eliminated Anfield from his thinking. On the other, the mention of Bayern Munich makes everything feel suddenly precarious. Supporters know how these stories can go — admire the player, wait too long and watch him lift trophies somewhere else.

There is a bigger point too. Liverpool have spent years reacting to defensive injuries and contract situations. Signing Guehi would be a proactive move, something that prepares for the next five years rather than fixing the next five weeks.

If Liverpool step aside and Bayern win this race, it will not be seen as a case of bad luck. It will be seen as hesitation.

Supporters are not asking for extravagance, just ambition. Guehi wants clarity. Liverpool should offer it loudly.
