The Crystal Palace defender has been high on Liverpool’s priority radar for months, having tried to seal a £35million transfer in August, but there are growing concerns that Bayern might now represent an option that is just as appealing.
It is thought Guehi would view a move to the German champions as a fail-safe way to continue progressing out of the Premier League spotlight while still competing at the highest level.
They hold such power in Germany that the prospect of not being a force in European football is pretty much unthinkable. And Vincent Kompany has got them playing very well at this moment.
Currently on England duty, Guehi is able to witness the impact Bayern has had on national team captain Harry Kane.
The striker has thrived in Munich, breaking more goal records, and he arrives for international duty with an improving sense of authority.

Those close to Guehi say he is not motivated by fame or fortune, but rather by the chance to test himself in an elite environment that offers both challenge and ambition.
Kane’s successful transition to life in Germany gives him something to think about as he weighs up his next move.
Sources suggest Guehi has been excited about the prospect of joining Liverpool but remains open-minded about how his career could develop.
Liverpool are expected to return with another approach in January, but Bayern will also be in a good position to discuss a move at that stage as he becomes a free agent at the end of the season.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been linked at a time when Guehi might truly open his eyes to the prospect of testing himself abroad.
