Despite reports of other clubs, including Manchester City, being interested in Guehi, Romano stated that Liverpool remains his top choice. The England international is eager to join the Reds, and talks between the two clubs are ongoing to finalize a deal before the transfer window closes.

Palace chairman Steve Parish has mentioned that Guehi will be sold if he doesn't agree to a new contract. If the club holds onto him past January, they risk losing him for free when his contract expires in 2026. The Reds have a limited time frame to complete the deal, with the transfer window deadline approaching quickly.

Guehi will likely want assurances about his playing time under manager Arne Slot, which could be a challenge in the negotiations this week. However, Liverpool's goal is to secure a deal for the talented defender before the deadline expires.
