The centre-back was poised to complete a \u00a335million move to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/anfield\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Anfield<\/a> on deadline day in the summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">However, Palace put the brakes on a proposed transfer after failing to secure a replacement. Missing out on Guehi at the time was not seen as a blow for Arne Slot&#8217;s side, with the England defender seeing his Palace contract expire next summer, meaning the Reds could then sign him for free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">But <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/liverpool-fc\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Liverpool<\/a> have struggled badly defensively this season, with 20 goals conceded in the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/barclays-premier-league\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> so far. Ibrahima Konate, in particular, has endured a torrid time at centre-back and was brutally substituted by Slot during Saturday&#8217;s dismal 3-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">Konate&#8217;s struggles alongside shaky performances from the normally reliable Virgil van Dijk in central defence have come amid solid work at Palace from Guehi. The 25-year-old kept another clean sheet this weekend as Oliver Glasner&#8217;s team moved up to fourth in the top-flight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">And the Englishman has chosen to praise the team as a whole after goals from Daniel Munoz and Yeremy Pino secured a comfortable three points at Molineux.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">He said: &#8220;Well done, team,&#8221; in a three-word message alongside several pictures of him in action against Wolves.<\/p>\n<p>Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">It is unclear whether Liverpool will revisit a move for Guehi in January to arrest their defensive woes. Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona have also been linked in recent months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">Guehi admitted in October that he does not know where his future lies. Asked on whether he knows the next step in his career, he said: &#8220;No, because I like to live in the present and I can&#8217;t be thinking about the future at all because there is a lot of work to do, but also my future is in God&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">&#8220;Wherever God wants me to go, I will go, but that will be taken care of at the end of the season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">The former Chelsea youth team player stressed he will not let his contract situation affect him heading into next summer&#8217;s World Cup in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">He added: &#8220;For me, it doesn&#8217;t really matter, to be honest. As long as I&#8217;m playing well and helping Palace, there&#8217;s definitely an opportunity for me to be here as I am today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">&#8220;Whether it&#8217;s sorted or not, it&#8217;s not really the most important thing to be honest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"liverpoolecho\">&#8220;Personally, I don&#8217;t know if I can think that far ahead.
