Manchester City are reportedly making strong progress in their pursuit of Marc Guehi, with the latest updates suggesting the defender could complete a move in January. According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, negotiations are advancing, bringing City closer to securing one of the Premier League’s most sought-after centre-backs.
The development will come as a major frustration to Liverpool supporters. Guehi was believed to be just minutes away from joining Liverpool during the August transfer window, with talks having reached an advanced stage before the deal ultimately collapsed. What once appeared to be a near-certain Anfield move now looks set to take a very different direction.
City’s renewed push has shifted the landscape entirely. If the deal is finalized, Guehi will soon be wearing Manchester City colours, strengthening an already formidable squad and underlining Pep Guardiola’s intent to reinforce his defence mid-season.
The situation highlights another painful what-if moment for Liverpool, who identified Guehi as a priority target but failed to close the deal when the opportunity arose. Watching a player so close to joining end up at a direct rival only adds to the disappointment.
With January approaching, all signs point toward Manchester City winning the race. Unless there is a late twist, Liverpool may soon see a defender they nearly signed lining up against them in a City shirt.
