Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool will struggle to sign Marc Guehi

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool do not think that they will be able to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace this month.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has claimed that Liverpool, who won the Premier League title last season, internally believe that they will miss out on Guehi, with Manchester City planning to bid for him.

Romano said on his YouTube channel on Wednesday evening: “Man City are in emergency, and today Oliver Glasner said, well, if we receive a good financial proposal and if the player wants to go, yes, Guehi could leave the club in January.

“So, the doors are not closed to a January exit for Marc Guehi. Man City are on it, Man City are negotiating with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi, but it’s not something done. It’s not something agreed.

“Don’t forget about Bayern calls. Don’t forget about Liverpool calls.

“The situation is moving around Marc Guehi because Bayern and Liverpool are tracking this opportunity for the summer transfer window.

“Liverpool internally believe that it’s going to be difficult to do the deal in January.

“But never say never. I would keep everything open on this story because Liverpool had the player in their hands in the summer transfer window.

“Then the deal collapsed, so Liverpool remain interested. Bayern are still there.

“Man City want to do the deal now, prepared to pay a transfer fee to Palace.

“And so, let’s follow this Marc Guehi situation.”
