Romano: If there are new problems with the central defender in the next three months, Liverpool may sign Guei in the winter window

Hupu reported on October 21 that famous reporter Romano wrote a column in the media GiveMeSport and talked about Liverpool’s signings in the defense position.

Romano said that after Liverpool's buzzer-beating transfer in this summer's transfer window fell through, Crystal Palace coach Glasner "officially" confirmed that central defender Gueye had refused to renew his contract. The England international will definitely start a new chapter in his career in 2026, which will inevitably trigger a battle for the rich.

According to people familiar with the matter, Gueye is more likely to leave the team in July next year rather than January, but sudden injuries or blockbuster offers may change the timetable planned by the England central defender. On the deadline day of this summer's transfer window, despite the completion of the medical examination and the agreement between all parties, Guey's transfer to Liverpool unexpectedly collapsed. It is currently widely believed that the Crystal Palace captain will leave the club on a free agency.

Although the Red Army still includes the Three Lions international on the 2026 signing list, the two parties did not reach any pre-agreement after the turmoil at the deadline of this summer's transfer window. In addition to the internal competition in the Premier League, La Liga giants, Bayern Munich and Serie A clubs have all called to inquire. Formal negotiations have not yet begun at this stage, and the clubs are only conducting preliminary research on the possibility of a free transfer for Europe's top central defender.

Guey promised to maintain a professional attitude until the expiration of the contract, but 2026 is bound to be a turning point in his career. Bayern's interest is real but not deep. The Bundesliga hegemon's priority is to renew Upamecano's contract; while Liverpool currently has no plans to introduce a central defender in the winter window - but the situation at the central defender position may change at any time in the next three months. Many wealthy clubs in European football have raised the alarm about Guey's entry into the free market. The movements of this 26-year-old central defender undoubtedly deserve continued attention.
