I cannot access the specific URL you provided (liverpool.com). However, based on the search results available to me, I can provide information about the current Liverpool transfer situation: **Marc Guehi to Manchester City** Manchester City has agreed a deal to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace for approximately £20 million in the January transfer window.[1] This move comes after Liverpool missed out on the defender, who was a target for the Reds. Liverpool had been ready to pay £30 million for Guehi, but the club was unwilling to meet his new wage demands and did not make a formal bid.[1] Manchester City accelerated their interest due to injuries to key defenders including Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias.[1] Liverpool had previously attempted to sign Guehi on the final day of the 2025 summer transfer window for an initial £35 million, but the deal collapsed when Crystal Palace pulled out after failing to secure a replacement.[2] **Alternative Target: Alessandro Bastoni** With Guehi now joining Manchester City, Liverpool has identified Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni as an alternative option.[2] The 26-year-old Italian centre-back is contracted to Inter until 2028, and a fee of approximately £70 million would be required to secure his services.[2] However, a move for Bastoni is unlikely to happen in January, with summer 2026 being the more realistic timeframe for Liverpool to make this signing. **Broader Context** Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has also entered the final six months of his contract at Anfield, adding another layer of complexity to the club's defensive recruitment plans.[3] I apologize that I cannot provide the exact article from the specific URL you requested.
