The article reviews a series of current Liverpool transfer targets, assessing the likelihood and wisdom of each potential deal as a new update emerges on centre-back Marc Guehi. It explains that Guehi has long been admired by Liverpool and was even close to a move previously, but Crystal Palace’s valuation and their reluctance to lose a key defender have complicated any transfer. Suggestions that his price or stance may be softening have revived speculation and pushed his name back to the forefront of Liverpool’s defensive shortlist.



Beyond Guehi, the piece runs through several other defensive and midfield options who have been regularly linked with Anfield. For each name, the writer considers factors such as age profile, injury history, tactical fit under Liverpool’s current playing style, homegrown status, and the financial reality of doing a deal. Some targets are described as ideal stylistic fits but probably too expensive, others as more realistic squad options who might lack the ceiling expected for a long‑term starter.

The article uses a “rated and slated” approach: certain players are effectively “rated” as smart, data‑friendly signings who align with Liverpool’s usual recruitment strategy, while others are “slated” as unlikely, poor value, or more media invention than club priority. It repeatedly stresses Liverpool’s preference for younger, developing players with resale value over short‑term fixes, and notes that any big move may depend on outgoings and budget created later in the window.

In conclusion, Guehi is framed as one of the more convincing links in a market full of noise, but the article underlines that Liverpool are tracking multiple alternatives and will only move if the fee and timing are right. Rather than predicting a specific transfer, it portrays a club prepared to be patient, opportunistic, and highly selective about who is brought in to strengthen the squad.
