"Arne Slot has had a tough week (Image credit: YASIN AKGUL/AFP via Getty Images) Liverpool have been rocked by another defensive blow, in a tricky period for manager Arne Slot. In their second Champions League fixture, Liverpool were beaten 1-0 by Galatasaray just days after their first Premier League defeat of the campaign to Crystal Palace. With Alisson and Hugo Ekitike both injured in the trip to Istanbul, too, worries are piling up for Slot, who has significant concerns in his backline."
"A separate report from Fichajes has now compounded matters, with an update on Marc Guehi's future. The Crystal Palace captain was tantalisingly close to a deadline day switch to Anfield, only for the move to fall through but it's now being reported that Bayern Munich are in the driving seat to sign Guehi, and not Liverpool. FourFourTwo understands that Guehi has definitively decided not to renew at Palace,"
Liverpool lost 1-0 to Galatasaray in their second Champions League match, coming shortly after their first Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace. Key players Alisson and Hugo Ekitike suffered injuries on the trip to Istanbul, increasing defensive concerns. Ibrahima Konate has struggled early in the season, and summer signing Giovanni Leoni is out for the campaign with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, leaving limited centre-back options alongside Virgil van Dijk. Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi has decided against renewing at Palace and Bayern Munich are the leading suitors, which could push Liverpool to pursue a defender in January.
