Liverpool avoids transfer miss with decision on Marc Guehi

Summary

Liverpool's transfer strategy may have been validated as they narrowly missed the opportunity to sign Marc Guehi last season. Guehi, previously at Crystal Palace, was set to leave but the deal fell through when Palace couldn't secure a replacement. This decision, in hindsight, appears fortunate, as Guehi's performance has declined since joining Manchester City. Liverpool instead opted for Jeremy Jacquet, who is currently showing promise as a defender, potentially filling the void left by Virgil van Dijk, whose contract expires this season.
