The 25-year-old had completed his medical ahead of a proposed £35m transfer, but Palace pulled out after Igor Julio’s switch to West Ham collapsed.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign if Guehi was allowed to leave, as DaveOCKOP first reported.
Now in the final year of his contract, the England defender is attracting interest from Serie A, La Liga, and the Bundesliga.
Guehi has shown no indication that he is willing to sign a new contract at Selhurst Park.
Liverpool are not expected to reopen talks in January, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, but will target him as a free agent in summer 2026.
Speaking on the Market Madness podcast, Romano said: “I think there is a concrete chance of seeing Liverpool return for Marc Guehi because they really trust the player and believed this was a perfect opportunity.
“He did the medical and was ready to complete his move to Liverpool.
“Liverpool are the kind of club who always try to sign players they have on their shortlist.
“He was top of their shortlist this summer, so I’m sure they will be back in for him in the near future.
“At the moment, the idea of the club is not to go for Guehi in January and negotiate with Crystal Palace anymore.
“Obviously, 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.
“But, at the moment, the intention is to be competing to sign him in the summer as a free agent.
“I say there will be competition because, from what I’m told, several clubs will enter the race to try to sign Marc Guehi.
“There are clubs from England, Italy, Spain and Germany, so it’s going to be a big fight for Guehi?
But I’m sure that Liverpool will be there.”
