Liverpool face competition from Bayern Munich for Marc Guehi but Chelsea have brought a new “complexity” to the pursuit.
Guehi saw his move to Liverpool collapse on deadline day (1 September) following weeks of speculation surrounding his future.
Football Insider revealed on 6 September Liverpool are ready to wait until next summer to sign Guehi despite foreign clubs being able to agree pre-contract terms with the 25-year-old from January onwards.
Bayern Munich have entered the race to sign Guehi, while he’s also been linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus.

If Palace decide to cash in on the England international in January, they will have to pay Chelsea a 20 per cent sell-on fee as part of the agreement that took him to Selhurst Park in 2021.
“I mean, we know that in January foreign clubs can start to sign pre-contracts, and English clubs can’t.
“Loads of people are going to be interested in a 26-year-old Marc Guehi on a free transfer.”
