Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner don hint say Manchester City fit sign Marc Guehi for January transfer window, despite reports say Liverpool dey interested.

The Reds don suffer one kain nightmare season, as the club dey currently fourth for the Premier League table, 14 points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Matter off the pitch sef no better, as Mohamed Salah im future still dey uncertain, same thing with manager Arne Slot im future.

E no too surprise say reported target Guehi don enter City radar, as dem fit take advantage of the Reds poor situation to sign the centre-back.

Palace coach Glasner directly mention the Citizens when e talk about the possibility of Guehi leaving this month, as e tell reporters: “I no be naive. If big offer come from City and Marc wan do am, e go happen.

“If na only football matter you dey look, everybody for the club go talk say Marc suppose stay. The chairman go tell you the same thing. But e no be one-sided. If you check the financial situation, e very important. Everybody want make e play for Crystal Palace, sign new contract and stay here forever.

“Na wetin everybody go tell you. But the situation be say im contract go end for summer and if somebody come, time go reach when the club go talk say ‘now the financial issue big pass the football issue’.”

If Liverpool miss out on Guehi to City, e go be another blow for dem for one difficult season wey don already see their chance to defend the title disappear by January.

Why Liverpool Must Sign Marc Guehi for January Transfer Window

Liverpool no dey rush panic for transfer windows normally, dem dey prefer wait than sign short-term player just to fill gap for squad.

Guehi almost join the Reds for summer 2025, and even though Palace keep am that transfer window, plenty fans and pundits believe say the club go come back for the defender for winter.

If City manage secure im signature, fear dey say Liverpool fit enter the rest of the season with their current options.

Depending on Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk go risky, especially as the first two dey always pick injury.

Van Dijk sef don reach 34 years and don struggle show im best level, and if dem no strengthen the defence line, e fit expose am more.

How Much Work Liverpool Need Do for January and Summer?

Even though Liverpool fit dey comfortable keep their squad as e be this January, failure to reinforce go mean say dem need do plenty additions for summer.

Konate im contract go expire at the end of the season, while Gomez don dey linked with possible exit, so e no go surprise if the Reds need two centre-backs before 2026-27 season start.

The uncertain future of Salah almost surely go force the arrival of one big-name forward, and argument dey say the Merseyside club need sign defensive midfielder too.

Liverpool fit still dey look for new manager for summer, and to make plenty changes for one window fit scatter the squad im harmony.
