Liverpool are the Premier League champions, but it might not be the right time for Marc Guehi to join them from Crystal Palace.
The Reds currently have Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as their centre-back pairing. Guehi will not be guaranteed to start ahead of either player in the upcoming campaign.
It is a crucial time for Guehi to get regular game time, as the World Cup is coming up next year. Therefore, the Palace captain might be better off staying put.
According to talkSPORT, "Guehi is content to see out the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace."

At the end of next season, Guehi could sign for Liverpool on a free transfer. This could coincide with Konate leaving Liverpool.
Konate is also entering the final year of his contract and has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Guehi could then be a first-choice starter for Liverpool, and at a club where he has a better chance of adding to his trophy cabinet.
