Liverpool made a move for Marc Guehi in the summer of 2025, but Crystal Palace did not let him go.His contract is up at the end of June 2026, and he has already told Palace he will not be signing a new one.With that in mind, there were rumours that Liverpool might look to sign Guehi this January or next summer, and Arne Slot was recently asked about those links.Arne Slot hints at Liverpool’s January transfer focus amid Marc Guehi rumoursPhoto by PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty ImagesSlot faced the media on Friday morning ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Nottingham Forest.The first question thrown his way was about the potential addition of Guehi, or any other centre-back for that matter.“How likely are you to bring in a centre half, whether it’s Marc Guehi or anyone else?” a journalist questioned.The Dutch manager seemed to suggest that Liverpool might be targeting reinforcements in a different position, implying that area has a ‘bit more of an issue.’“Talking about signing in the winter, there are so many games to be played before that.“And the position we are in, it’s the last thing that’s on my mind, maybe not on Richards, but it’s the last thing on my mind, so it’s not a topic at all for me at the moment.“We have at this moment in time, three centre-backs, with Joe Gomez included of course, and maybe Ryan, who can play in that position.“Maybe you are not aware of it yet, but we have other positions where, which is a bit more of an issue.”What position could Arne Slot be talking about?Most links heading into the winter window have focused on defenders, with names like Alessandro Bastoni being mentioned.But more recently, talk of a potential move for Antoine Semenyo has started to pick up.Some fans are puzzled by the focus on Semenyo over a central defender, believing that shoring up the backline should come first.However, with Mohamed Salah set to play in AFCON during the middle of the 2025/26 season, bringing in another winger could help cover his absence.
