He was heavily linked with Liverpool in the summer, but the move collapsed in the end. They are keeping tabs on his situation and could look to return for him in future. If Manchester United end up signing the defender, it would be a huge blow for Liverpool. They have been tracking the player for a while, and they will not want to miss out on Guehi. It will be interesting to see what the defender decides in the coming months. He will want to join an ambitious club where he will be able to win major trophies.
