Liverpool looks to have a fair bit of competition in the race to sign Crystal Palace center back Marc Guehi this January.

Guehi is entering the final six months of his contract and is the top transfer target for several Premier League title contenders this season, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal, who have reportedly entered the race for the England standout.

Liverpool already came close to signing the 25-year-old on deadline day during the summer, but the £35 million deal fell through at the last moment despite a fee being agreed and Guehi undergoing a medical for the Reds.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has admitted that if a big enough offer comes in for Guehi, who has confirmed he won’t be renewing his contract to stay at Selhurst Park, then he will be sold.

Liverpool have dropped to third-favourite to land Guehi this January, with odds of 7/1 to finalize a transfer for the England ace by the end of the window.

The Reds were jumped by Arsenal, now 5/1 to sign the Palace defender, in the betting market as the Premier League leaders look to further strengthen their squad for the run-in.

Both come in behind Manchester City, the clear 4/5 favourite to sign Guehi, even though manager Pep Guardiola recently downplayed the chances of City spending big this January .

Long-term injuries to central defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias may force City’s hand if they are to keep pace with Arsenal in the Premier League title race, even after agreeing to a reported £62.5 fee to sign Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth .

Guardiola’s side have drawn three consecutive league games, including in Matchweek 21 at home against Brighton, to fall further off the pace of the league leaders.

21-year-old Abdukodir Khusanov and 20-year old Max Alleyne, who was recalled from his loan at Watford following the injuries to Gvardiol and Dias, formed the centerback pairing against the Seagulls.

Like it did for Semenyo, who the Reds came close to signing themselves , the race for Guehi may come down to who can offer a larger transfer fee between Liverpool and Manchester City, although the bidding war may now include Arsenal as well.

Further down in the odds to sign Guehi this January include Barcelona (14/1), Real Madrid (14/1), and PSG (16/1), with Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Chelsea all priced at 25/1.
