Chief Deco boat however, does not reveal too much about his side’s interest in Guehi, simply praising him as a “good player” while appearing to downplay the links.
Liverpool attempted to sign the England international in the summer before a deal collapsed late on, but they are still interested, the club said. Athleticwho add that Barcelona are also among his suitors.
“We have identified many players [as potential options]he is a good player,” Deco said of Guehi in an interview with SER Catalunya, as quoted by Football Spain.
“We know what we want, but we are not going to speak publicly about what they are. We are happy that we have a young team, with players from La Masia, which allows us to be calmer.”
Should Marc Guehi choose Barcelona or Liverpool?
Guehi clearly looks like he would be a key signing for Liverpool at the moment as they have struggled defensively all season.
Arne Slot’s team conceded a surprising number of twenty goals in the first thirteen league matches of the season, and recently also four at home against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
Guehi would certainly help LFC improve with Virgil van Dijk not getting any younger, while a replacement could also be needed soon if Ibrahima Konate does not sign a new contract as his current contract expires in the summer.
Yet the Athletic previously claimed that Guehi would like to play against a club competing for the Champions League, and Liverpool may seem a long way from that at the moment.
If Liverpool don’t turn their league form around soon, they won’t even be playing in Europe’s top club competition next season, while Barcelona are usually top of the list to win the trophy.
