Liverpool Postpone Pursuit of Marc Guéhi, Salah Urged to Consider Real Madrid Move
LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND – Liverpool FC has reportedly decided against a January transfer bid for Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guéhi, opting to wait until the defender’s contract expires next summer, according to The Times. Concurrently, Paris Saint-germain forward Kylian Mbappé has reportedly encouraged Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah to consider a future transfer to Real Madrid.
These developments arrive as European clubs continue strategizing for future transfer windows despite the recent closure of the summer market. The news impacts Liverpool’s defensive reinforcement plans and raises questions about Salah’s long-term future at Anfield, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of both the Premier League and La Liga. Sporting directors across Europe are actively identifying targets and assessing budgets for upcoming opportunities.
guéhi, a 25-year-old England international, was a target for Liverpool during the recent transfer window, with a deadline day move ultimately failing to materialize. The club will now reassess the situation when Guéhi’s current contract with Crystal Palace nears its conclusion.
Adding a layer of intrigue, Mbappé has reportedly advised salah to join him at Real Madrid. Salah, 31, recently signed a new two-year contract extension with Liverpool in April, but the allure of a move to the Spanish capital could present a challenge to the club’s efforts to retain their star winger.
Elsewhere, Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries, 29, has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League, having been linked with Manchester United during the summer transfer window. The Netherlands international has indicated he would welcome the possibility to compete in England’s top flight.
