Liverpool won\u2019t pursue a transfer for Marc Guehi in January but will wait until next summer, prominent Merseyside journalists have reported. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Following Liverpool\u2019s collapsed attempt to sign Guehi from Crystal Palace<\/a>, some fans expected the Reds to go back in for him in January. <\/p>\n

However, the Times<\/a>\u2018 Paul Joyce wrote: \u201cLiverpool will not revisit their interest in Marc Guehi in January and would only now sign the Crystal Palace<\/a> centre-back on a free transfer next summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

While interest from other further parties could theoretically get in the way \u2013 Man City<\/a>, Juventus and Barcelona<\/a> have all been mentioned \u2013 the Telegraph<\/a>\u2018s Chris Bascombe reported that Liverpool \u201csee the referencing of other clubs as a bluff to bring them back to the table on January 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the 25-year-old\u2019s contract expiring at the end of the season, it makes sense that Liverpool would wait to bring him in, rather than spend a considerable sum in the January transfer window. <\/p>\n

However, many would argue Liverpool could do with Guehi in the squad now, given Joe Gomez<\/a>\u2018s poor injury record and Giovanni Leoni<\/a>\u2018s inexperience leave the Reds with just two regular centre-halves.<\/p>\n

Bascombe added: \u201cGuehi would have been a replacement for Gomez rather than Ibrahima Konate<\/a>, although the French defender finds himself in an identical position to the Palace skipper, now in the final year of his deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s bid for Guehi of \u00a335 million plus a 10 percent sell-on clause had been accepted by Crystal Palace<\/a> on deadline day, but the Eagles went back on their agreement upon being unable to secure a replacement for Guehi in the market.<\/p>\n

Chairman Steve Parish decided to pull the plug, with manager Oliver Glasner reportedly<\/a> threatening to resign if Guehi was sold, having repeatedly said<\/a> in the press that his captain would have to remain at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n
