The Premier League champions raced to sign the 25-year-old defender on deadline day, but, with Crystal Palace unable to sign a replacement, a deal collapsed.
The ECHO understands that Liverpool had agreed to sign Guehi from the Eagles for £35m.

Sky has slashed the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the 2025/26 season, saving members £336 and offering more than 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more.
Sky will show at least 215 live Premier League games this season, an increase of up to 100 more.
So, with Arne Slot in need of a new ball-playing centre-half, the ECHO has shortlisted four players that the Liverpool boss could look at instead.
Ousmane Diomande was reportedly identified as the successor to Guehi at Selhurst Park in the summer.
The 21-year-old defender was heavily linked with numerous Premier League clubs, having just helped Sporting Clube de Portugal win back-to-back domestic league titles.

There's a wealth of talent in the Portuguese top-flight at the moment.
Antonio Silva caught the eye for Benfica at the Club World Cup in the United States, and he's another young centre-half who's on the brink of exploding.

If Slot wants to sign somebody with a bit of Premier League experience, then Liverpool should take a look at Jan Paul van Hecke.
