Liverpool were one of the busiest teams in the summer transfer window, but they were unable to complete every deal they wanted.
There were eight new signings at Anfield this summer, but one of the biggest stories of the transfer window was the Reds’ Crystal Palace captain Marc Gheihy’s deal falls through.

The transfer looked complete, with Geshe even recording a farewell message for supporters, but Palace pulled out of the deal at the last minute and the 25-year-old remains at Selhurst Park.
As things stand, the England international will be available on a free transfer next summer, but Liverpool will face stiff competition, including from genuine European giants.
Barcelona chasing Guhi trade
Although Gehi’s transfer was almost completed in the summer, Liverpool will not have a free run for him in January or the summer.

According to TEAMtalk, Barcelona have formally contacted Guerhi twice in the past two weeks.
The Spanish champions can formally enter into contract negotiations with Guerhi on a free transfer from January 1, but have not ruled out the possibility of making a transfer offer for the defender in January.
Barcelona’s efforts are reportedly focused on “boosting the prestige of Champions League football” and this is… in its current form – Liverpool may struggle to make an offer next season.
Will Liverpool miss Guehi?
Barcelona would certainly be able to make a convincing case for the Chelsea academy graduate, but TEAMtalk’s report does suggest that Liverpool remains the Englishman’s preferred destination.

Bayern Munich also remain interestedbut the Red Army is still Geshe’s first choice.
worry Virgil van Dijk’s longevity and Ibrahima Konat Form and an ongoing contract dispute make centre-back a key area of ​​focus for Liverpool heading into the transfer window, and the key to securing Gueshi may be making an offer in January.
Palace don’t want to lose a top talent for free in the summer, and with the Reds likely to offer a bigger fee than Barcelona in the winter, an early move could see the defender eventually move to Liverpool.
Liverpool’s current form may cause concern for Gueye, but his arrival in January could be the catalyst for the Reds to get their season back on track.
