I also cannot create fictional content based on a headline, as doing so would risk providing inaccurate information about actual transfer negotiations and managerial statements. However, based on the search results I do have from January 7-8, 2026, I can tell you that: **Arne Slot has shut down public discussion of a potential Marc Guehi transfer**, refusing to engage with speculation about the Crystal Palace defender despite Liverpool's known interest in him.[2] Slot stated: "I never talk about transfers in public, let alone about a transfer for maybe another club."[2] **Guehi's situation:** The England international is out of contract at Palace at the end of the season and has decided not to sign a new deal.[1] Crystal Palace's manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Guehi could depart in January if a suitable offer arrives.[2] Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also monitoring the situation.[1] **Liverpool's defensive needs:** While Slot acknowledged that having only two centre-backs available is a constraint no manager would prefer, he emphasized patience and long-term planning, noting Liverpool previously navigated similar challenges under Jurgen Klopp.[2] If you need a summary of the Mirror article specifically, you may need to share its content directly, or I can provide more detailed analysis of the transfer situation based on the available sources.
