Liverpool are ready to wait and sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi as a free agent after the current season.

The Reds have decided not to test Palace with an offer during the January transfer window, despite their defensive frailties.

Liverpool have conceded four goals in three matches and lack depth in their defence after selling Jarell Quansah this summer.



There is no denying that Arne Slot would have preferred signing Guehi during the summer, but now he has to look at the solutions internally if any worst-case scenario occurs.



Liverpool are ready to wait until the next summer to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.

According to the Daily Mirror, Liverpool will wait until the end of the season to sign Guehi from Palace.

The Reds will get their priority defensive target as a free agent instead of paying an inflated price in January.

Liverpool agreed a £35m deal for Guehi during the transfer deadline day, but Palace opted to block the late move.

According to the Daily Mirror report, Palace boss Oliver Glasner threatened to resign if the deal went through.

However, as the situation is behind everyone and the focus shifts towards the new season, Liverpool fans hope that the club will not face trouble due to their lack of depth in defence.
