It will not be exaggerated if said Liverpool have been the most active and successful in the transfer window so far. They have broken the record of the British transfer fee that was set by Manchester City only 4 years ago when they signed Jack Grealish. Liverpool broke this record by signing Florian Wirtz.
They have also made some more expensive signings like Hugo Ekitike for £79 million, and they are still in line with the wish to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, which would break their bank once again. But it looks like the Magpies have blocked the move, and Liverpool would miss out on this player.
Liverpool to face competition in signing Marc Guehi
Liverpool have strengthened their midfield and forward line, but the defence is still not fixed, as they have also allowed one of their stars, Jarell Quansah, to leave. Presently, they do not have enough depth in the defence, and they desperately need to sign at least one major Centre back to fix their issues in the defence.
Marc Guehi was active at Crystal Palace in 2021
The club was linked with Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, and he had been the sole interest of Liverpool from the very first day of the transfer window. The English International is presently in his final year with Crystal Palace, and his contract will expire by the end of this season, so he will not be very expensive for Liverpool.
Chelsea are also rumoured to be interested in the English International
Reports suggest that Crystal Palace Football Club want a fee of around £30 million for Marc Guehi. Liverpool kept the transfer on hold as they were busy securing the other transfers, like Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak. But presently, it looks like the defending Premier League Champions will face competition from one of their biggest rivals in pursuit of Marc Guehi.
Rumours suggest that Chelsea want Guehi back after one of their major defenders, Levi Colwill, picked up an ACL injury during a recent friendly match, and it looks like this injury will keep him out for quite a long time. Moreover, it does not look like things are going to be easy for Liverpool if they are looking forward to signing Guehi.
