If the France worldwide decides to depart, one would think about Reds followers could be fairly proud of a participant of Guehi’s caliber becoming a member of on a free switch.
What’s the standing of Liverpool’s acquisition of Marc Gehi?
As extensively reported, LFC got here near signing Guehi in the summertime, however Palace later backed out of the deal.

The 25-year-old seems to be the perfect substitute for Konate, however one imagines Liverpool would ideally maintain maintain of the Frenchman and embody each gamers in Arne Slott’s squad subsequent season.
After large spending, free switch Gehi is precisely what Liverpool want
Liverpool’s latest additions haven’t been very profitable, with Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Jeremy Frimpong and Milos Kerkes all struggling at Anfield thus far regardless of big-money spending.
It will be a bit ironic if, after spending a lot cash, a free switch like Guehi ended up having essentially the most constructive impression.
