Liverpool are still hoping to sign Marc Guehi in the summer of 2026.The Reds have not made the best start to the season but, somehow, still sit second in the Premier League table just one point behind Arsenal.Three losses on the bounce have left fans a little worried, though, with one of the biggest concerns being about how many goals they have conceded.Liverpool knew their defence was a weakness heading into the season and this was proven by their desperate attempt to sign Guehi from Crystal Palace, although this fell through at the 11th hour.Reinforcements are still needed, however, and the Reds could try and sign the Englishman as early as January if they see fit, but even then it might be too little, too late as other clubs are beginning to circle.Photo by Crystal Pix/MB Media/Getty ImagesBayern Munich have held talks with Marc GuehiThe reason many thought the Guehi move would materialise is because he is almost nailed on to leave for free in the summer, meaning Palace were happy to cash in on him.Manager Oliver Glasner had other ideas, though, and all but blocked the move from happening, at least until the summer that is.The danger for Liverpool, however, is that in January, he can negotiate a pre-contract with teams abroad, meaning he might be snapped up before they can officially make him an offer.And, this worry is only increasing as according to journalist Florian Plettenburg, Bayern Munich have already been in contact with Guehi’s representatives over a possible move.He reports that Bayern’s director of football, Max Eberl, is a big admirer of the centre-back and is keen to bring him in next summer.READ MORE: Mohamed Salah has already proven to Liverpool fans how one goal for Egypt can kick-start his seasonHowever, a move is said to be dependent on the futures of Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae, with both likely to depart and make room for Guehi’s potential arrival.Plettenberg concludes by saying that Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid are also very keen on his signature, suggesting the battle for him could be a feisty one. Liverpool need to sign Marc Guehi in January Pushing their plans forward to sign Guehi in the winter instead is vital for many reasons, but the first is simply to give them the best chance of actually getting him.In the summer, the Englishman will have plenty of offers that might tempt him to change his mind, especially if the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid do throw their hat into the ring.As well as this, Liverpool need defensive reinforcements in January anyway and Guehi is the obvious choice, meaning that it all just makes sense.However, tempting him away mid-season will be very tricky, mainly due to how well Palace are doing, the fact they could still be in Europe, and that he wants regular minutes due to it being a World Cup year.Knowing that he will get a lot more money and the biggest clubs after him in the summer is also another reason to wait it out, although Palace might be tempted if a good offer arrives.
