Liverpool<\/strong><\/a> brought in Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giovanni Leoni as their headline-grabbing signings of the summer.<\/p>\n The transfer window could have been even better for Liverpool if they had signed Guehi but Crystal Palace pulled the plug on the deal with minutes to go on deadline day<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Liverpool are likely to try to sign Guehi again but there are now likely to be other clubs involved as they look to sign the England international for free at the end of the season.<\/p>\n Bringing an update on the situation, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said earlier this week on\u00a0the Market Madness Podcast<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cAt the moment, the idea of the club is not to go for Guehi in January and negotiate with Crystal Palace anymore.<\/p>\n MAILBOX:\u00a0Man Utd are \u2018average club with delusions of grandeur\u2019 as Liverpool prepare for \u2018procession\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cObviously, it is still September, so there could be injuries or other problems to make them decide to change their mind and go for Guehi in the January window.<\/p>\n \u201cBut, at the moment, the intention is to be competing to sign him in the summer as a free agent.<\/p>\n \u201cI say there will be competition because, from what I\u2019m told, several clubs will enter the race to try to sign Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are clubs from England, Italy, Spain and Germany, so it\u2019s going to be a big fight for Guehi. But I\u2019m sure that Liverpool will be there.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> And now Spanish website Fichajes insist that Chelsea are making a \u2018push to sign\u2019 Guehi ahead of Liverpool with the Blues looking \u2018to take advantage of the opportunity to sign him\u2019 on a free transfer.<\/p>\n The Chelsea hierarchy \u2018hopes to convince the England international with an attractive sporting project and a return to the\u00a0Champions League\u2019.<\/p>\n The report adds: \u2018The final decision will be up to Guehi, who will have to choose between returning to the club that trained him, joining Liverpool\u2019s Anfield tradition, or accepting the challenge of becoming a key player at Real Madrid.\u2019<\/p>\n A separate report from Fichajes insists that Liverpool are \u2018ready to return\u2019 for Barcelona centre-back Araujo with the Reds \u2018monitoring the Uruguayan for some time and believe he could be a strategic reinforcement for their defence\u2019.<\/p>\n Liverpool are \u2018willing to put\u00a0\u20ac50 million\u00a0on the table\u2019 for the Uruguay international with injury issues meaning \u2018the transfer fee is no longer close to what it once was.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are preparing to make an offer for Barcelona centre-back Ronald Araujo with Marc Guehi\u2019s future uncertain, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[199,748,1925,393,4884,225,179,2697,12,101,91159,10031,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-428385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-crystal-palace","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-home-page","14":"tag-liverpool","15":"tag-marc-guehi","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-premier-league","18":"tag-ronald-araujo","19":"tag-soccer","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115212968535178783","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
