Marc Guehi is on the cusp of signing for Man City months after he was hours away from becoming a Liverpool player, leading to strong responses among supporters.
Man City are closing in on package worth £20 million, plus bonuses, for Guehi this month, with Pep Guardiola’s club acting after injuries across their defence.
Guehi و on و for – تفاصيل مهمة
Liverpool had agreed a £35 million deal in the summer only for it to collapse in the final hours, with the stance since then being that they would wait until he was a free agent in the summer.
This Is Anfieldunderstands that stance has not changed despite Man City making their move for the England international, which has left Liverpool supporters confounded.
Some are led to believe it says about Arne Slot‘s future, while others have questioned Richard Hughes and Michael Edwardsor that Guehi simply moved on.
Liverpool fans say questions need to be asked after missing out on Marc Guehi
You wonder why Marc Guehi was the one for us on 31st August and then now isn’t when we’re down a centre back (and a right back) and another is seemingly going in summer.

Before the season started we still needed another attacker and another CB at the very least. Since then we have lost Isak and Leoni for the season, but still don’t look like doing anything. Don’t forget we came into the season as defending champions. Questions need to be asked

If Michael Edwards and the rest don’t rate Arne Slot enough to back him with £20 million for Guehi, which is peanuts by Premier League standards, especially given the money we generate, then they may as well sack him now.

They need additions now and come the summer replacements for Chiesa, Endo, Konate and possibly Salah. The type of players they sign however might depend on the man who picks them.

Losing out on Guehi is one thing. Not signing any CB in January is much worse. To need to go through so many games with an injury and form prone Gomez as your only backup is negligent imo. Especially when 2 of your defenders have had ACL injuries.

Fumbled Marc Guehi in the summer, still yet to hear of a breakthrough in Konate’s contract and Van Dijk’s contract runs out in 2027. Not the best planning…

Feels very much like cutting our nose off to spite our face because “he’s free in 6 months”. Yeah, well, he’s not gonna be is he, because he’ll be playing for someone else if we don’t make a move. We clearly wanted him. It wasn’t like an opportunistic thing.

Is Guehi the new VVD? No, but he’s a good option across the backline and even midfield in some games. Right age, behavior and injury record. Also, homegrown.

If VVD is injured Slot will have Gomez, Graven or Robbo as his CB options.

Given we have a problem defending setpieces and we bought short fullbacks as well I’d actually prefer if CBs we bought were tall and dominant in aerial duels. Guehi has organisational ability, good at bringing ball out, good defender, HG but isn’t aerially dominant.

It is a blow for Liverpool to miss out on a player who was in their club colours in the summer and merely hours away from officially joining the club.
— و Watch و LFC – تفاصيل مهمة
The lure of signing him as a free agent you can understand, but forgoing entering the race for his signature when two defenders have been ruled out for the season is negligent.
The reported stance is that Liverpool are not expected to sign a defender this month and it will feel to many that the club are shooting themselves in the foot, again, while their rivals strengthen.
The Big Debate
Is missing out on Marc Guehi a major strategic error or the right long-term call?
With the club passing on a cut-price deal, focus now shifts to who the club can turn to next. Some fans feel the club must act now, while others will want to wait to secure a top-tier target – or should it be both?
