Liverpool Snubs Guéhi Deal Over Value Concerns
20 Jan
Summary
- Liverpool decided against signing Marc Guéhi due to concerns about value.
- Manchester City signed Guéhi for an initial £20 million.
- Liverpool plans to address defensive needs in the summer window.
Liverpool declined to pursue Manchester City's new signing, Marc Guéhi, in the current transfer window, citing concerns over the deal's financial value. Although a £35 million agreement was reportedly in place during the summer, the Reds ultimately decided against competing for the centre-back.
Guéhi's transfer to Manchester City was finalized on Monday for an initial fee of £20 million. However, reports suggest that signing-on and agent fees significantly increased the total cost beyond this figure. Guéhi's weekly wages are also said to be substantial.
With no immediate need for defensive reinforcement, Liverpool's transfer plans are now firmly set on the summer window. The club is evaluating potential targets as they look to secure long-term successors for aging defenders.
