The Reds enjoyed a blockbuster summer, splashing out approximately £415 million to revamp their squad and secure key targets. ..Continue Reading
Among the standout arrivals were Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez. To balance the books, Liverpool offloaded Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Jarell Quansah.
However, their deadline day didn’t go entirely to plan. A late attempt to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi collapsed after Palace couldn’t secure a replacement in time.
Liverpool had pursued Guehi throughout the window and even agreed a £35 million fee with Palace, but the move was called off at the last moment.
Despite the setback, Liverpool remain optimistic about landing Guehi next year, especially with the England international entering the final year of his contract.
Romano has claimed that Liverpool’s “intention is to go for Guehi as a free agent”.
“Marc Guehi will not sign a new contract with Crystal Palace. You can imagine that the season can change, but as of today, the intention of Liverpool is to go for Guehi as a free agent and not to go for him in the January transfer window,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.
If something happens in the next few months, Liverpool can decide to revisit that decision.
“Liverpool are not happy with what happened on Deadline Day. There will be competition from Spain, Italy, Germany and England as well. For sure, there will be many clubs willing to enter the race and tell him that they will pay a bigger wage or signing fee than Liverpool.
“Liverpool will be there, but the intention is to go for Guehi in 2026 as a free agent.”
But, a report from Football Insider claims Liverpool ‘have an agreement’ to sign Guehi in 2026, with former Premier League chief scout Mick Brown, who ‘remains very well-connected within the game’, claiming “all the details are pretty much done”.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool have an agreement already,” Brown told Football Insider.
“I’ve seen it happen before, the deal falls through but everything had already been agreed on the players’ side, so they can return to the deal without any issues.
“When you come that close to a deal, all the details are pretty much done. It looked like it was a done deal.
“So they know what the player’s asking for, they know he wants to join, it’s just a case of moving forward with the club to bring him in when he’s available.
“Whether it happens in January or at the end of the season, it’s up to them really.
“Liverpool will say with only a year left on his contract, they can save £35million and get him for free.
“Even if there’s interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona as have been mentioned, Liverpool are confident he wants to join them. So from their point of view, it’s just a case of making a move again when he’s available.”
