Redknapp Pushes for Decisive January Window Move for Guehi

Liverpool’s collapse at Leeds United may yet shape their January Window priorities, with Jamie Redknapp urging the club to take decisive action. The former midfielder believes Marc Guehi represents both a realistic target and a vital solution to mounting defensive concerns.

Redknapp’s Assessment of Liverpool’s Defensive Strain

After watching Liverpool surrender a 2–0 lead in a turbulent 3–3 draw at Elland Road, Redknapp offered a stark evaluation of the situation. He argued that Ibrahima Konaté needs to be taken out of the firing line to protect both his form and confidence, but Liverpool’s limited defensive options make that almost impossible.

Conor Bradley requires careful management, while Joe Gomez continues to be handled cautiously given his injury history. In this context, Redknapp pointed to Guehi as the ideal reinforcement — Premier League proven, tactically sharp, and available at a reasonable price due to his contract expiring next summer.

Guehi’s Suitability and January Window Opportunity

Liverpool’s defensive record tells its own story: 24 goals conceded in their first 15 league matches is a figure that threatens to derail any title ambitions. Guehi’s profile fits the gap perfectly. He brings composure, anticipation, leadership and the ability to partner Virgil van Dijk at the heart of Liverpool’s defence.

With Guehi’s contract winding down, Crystal Palace face their last opportunity to generate a fee. That dynamic naturally makes a January Window deal more realistic, especially after Liverpool narrowly missed out on him over the summer. Early reports have claimed that conversations may have resumed, though these have yet to be verified by the most authoritative transfer sources.

Mixed Signals and Competition for Guehi

Despite the logic behind a winter move, Liverpool are not alone in monitoring Guehi’s situation. The Athletic has indicated that other Premier League clubs may also join the race, raising the pressure on Liverpool to act quickly and decisively.

Still, Redknapp’s view reflects a growing consensus: Liverpool cannot afford to let this opportunity pass. With uncertainty still swirling around Mohamed Salah’s future and defensive inconsistencies proving costly, the January Window offers a chance to correct course. Landing Guehi could be the pivotal step required to stabilise the season.
