Marc Guehi will have no shortage of suitors in the January transfer window, with four other clubs emerging as contenders alongside Liverpool.

Guehi’s future is up in the air once again after Crystal Palace pulled the plug on a deadline-day move to Liverpool.

The Palace captain was left furious after his £35million transfer to Anfield fell apart at the last minute due to a change of heart from chairman Steve Parish.



City let Manuel Akanji leave on loan to Inter Milan on deadline day and could move on Nathan Ake before moving for Guehi.

It remains to be seen how Guehi reacts to the failed Liverpool move, with suggestions earlier in the week that he could step down as Palace captain, but England boss Thomas Tuchel was unequivocal in his support after holding talks with him in the build-up to the Andorra game on Saturday evening.

Tuchel said: “We had a chat with him.

While he never agitated for a transfer, Guehi was keen on the move to Liverpool, who are still favourites to sign him in 2026.

Arne Slot wanted competition for places for his first-choice centre-back pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

They have started the campaign with three straight wins in the Premier League and the chance to win titles will be a major draw for Guehi.
