There hasn\u2019t been an awful lot of transfer buzz around Liverpool in this first week of the January window. <\/strong><\/p>\n

That shouldn\u2019t come as much of a surprise, with senior Liverpool figures expecting a quiet January<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not radio silence, though. Joel Ordonez is edging closer to a Liverpool move<\/a>, and other defenders are also being looked at. <\/p>\n

But there\u2019s one player who \u2014 if the Reds can get a deal over the line \u2014 would blow all other links out of the water, and Fabrizio Romano thinks it\u2019s possible. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the saga that continues to roll on from the summer. <\/p>\n

Liverpool have identified Marc Guehi<\/a> as their primary defensive target, but they are now in a race with Man City and Bayern Munich to win his signature. <\/p>\n

Romano discussed one of the stories of the window in a recent post to YouTube<\/a>, where he reveals: \u201cLiverpool internally believe that it\u2019s going to be difficult to do the deal in January. But never say never. <\/p>\n

\u201cI would keep everything open on this story because Liverpool had the player in their hands in the summer transfer window. Then we know the deal collapsed. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo Liverpool remain interested. Bayern are still there. Man City want to do the deal now prepared to pay a transfer fee to Palace.\u201d <\/p>\n

How would YOU react if Marc Guehi joins Man City instead of Liverpool in January? <\/p>\n

There have been growing concerns that Guehi will be tempted to join the title race with City<\/a>, while Liverpool languish below the leading pack in the Premier League. <\/p>\n

But Romano\u2019s information is that a move, while potentially difficult, can\u2019t be ruled out. <\/p>\n

Guehi wanted Liverpool in the summer <\/p>\n

One thing that works in Liverpool\u2019s favour with the Guehi situation is that he made up his mind to come to Anfield<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It was only at the last minute that the deal fell through. <\/p>\n

Jamie Carragher thinks Liverpool made a mistake not signing Marc Guehi <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat was a bad mistake [not signing Marc Guehi]. Liverpool are known as being really smart in the market, not overpaying and really good at selling. That could cost them. I think if Liverpool don\u2019t sign a centre-back in January\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know what his interest in City or Bayern is like, but if Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards can produce an offer that the Eagles are happy with, we could have Guehi, who has been described as an \u2018absolute tank\u2019<\/a>, added to our ranks for the rest of the season. <\/p>\n

With little else to occupy Liverpool<\/a> fans \u2014 off the pitch, anyway \u2014 the Guehi situation is the one to watch in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n
