Fabrizio Romano has essentially confirmed that one Premier League star will join Liverpool. It seems this one is going to happen.
Liverpool have been busier than anyone in this transfer window as they’ve overhauled their squad. Perhaps nothing shows that off more than the fact they’ve spent the most money while also raking in the most.

In fact, despite breaking their transfer record, signing the two most expensive full-backs in their history, and paying the most they ever have on a centre-forward, Liverpool aren’t even in the top five for net spend in the Premier League. It’s been remarkable.

Ridiculously, they’re not even done. Liverpool just signed Giovanni Leoni from Parma and have several sales in mind.
Ben Doak, to name one, should depart for Bournemouth before long. We’ll see what happens with Harvey Elliott, too.

Alexander Isak is the big name wanted before the window closes and Liverpool are hoping to convince Newcastle United to sell. But even that’s not all of – there’s another Premier League star on the agenda.
Liverpool want Marc Guehi
Liverpool are pushing to sign Marc Guehi before the window closes. There’s potential for a cut-price deal there as the centre-back is now in the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace.
Chairman Steve Parish has publicly admitted they’ll try to sell, too. It’s all about finding the right price.
But Fabrizio Romano claims that even if Liverpool don’t find that price, Guehi will ultimately land at Anfield. It might just need to wait a year.
“On Liverpool, I insist they are still working for Marc Guehi,” Romano said on YouTube. “There’s still a conversation ongoing with Crystal Palace, still a conversation ongoing with the player side because the agreement with the player is okay, from what I’m hearing.

“Still waiting to see what happens club to club. But Marc Guehi wants to go to Liverpool. If it’s not now, it’s going to be in the future.”
It seems we’re either seeing Guehi arrive at Liverpool in the next two weeks or we’re seeing it next summer, then. Romano certainly believes so.
We imagine a lot of it might hinge on what Real Madrid plan to do with Ibrahima Konate. He’s also out of contract in a year and Los Blancos want to sign him.
Maybe they’ll wait, but maybe they’ll try a late push. Guehi would certainly be an ideal replacement.
