"The England international came close to joining Liverpool in the summer, but that move collapsing late on now seems to have hurt the Reds in both the short and long term. According to the Athletic, it is now by no means the case that Guehi's move to Liverpool is still a foregone conclusion, with Manchester City, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich also in the race for his signature."
"LFC are on an awful run of nine defeats from their last twelve games in all competitions, and that's seen them drop to 12th in the Premier League table. Even if Liverpool bounce back and manage to scrape into the top four, it's still highly unlikely that they'd be considered one of the favourites to win the Champions League next season."
"The Athletic report that Real Madrid won't be signing Konate, but that still doesn't necessarily mean he'll be staying at Anfield. Like Guehi, Konate is also heading towards being a free agent at the end of this season, so he'll surely have plenty of suitors. Liverpool could really have done with Guehi to replace Konate, but it now looks like they might have missed their best chance."
Marc Guehi faces a multi-club transfer race that now includes Manchester City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, reducing Liverpool's standing as frontrunners. Guehi prioritises Champions League football and the chance to win the trophy, which may push him away from a club unlikely to contest Europe’s top competition next season. Liverpool sit 12th after nine defeats in twelve matches, damaging their appeal. Ibrahima Konate's future at Liverpool is unsettled despite Real Madrid reportedly not pursuing him, and Konate and Guehi could both become free agents, creating multiple suitors and leaving Liverpool short of a ready replacement.
