Having same issue, did your issue resolved?

I was having the same issue, checking my composer.lock and I found that the guzzlehttp\psr7 package was locked to version 2.0.0, and when you try to install the spatie/laravel-analytics package it fails because the googleapis/google-api-php-client requires "guzzlehttp/psr7": "^1.2", see https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client/blob/master/composer.json#L16

I'm using Laravel 8.4 which uses guzzlehttp/guzzle 7.3.0, which should work fine with guzzlehttp/psr7` ^1.7 as well. From my composer.lock:

        {
            "name": "guzzlehttp/guzzle",
            "version": "7.3.0",
            ...
            "require": {
               ....
                "guzzlehttp/psr7": "^1.7 || ^2.0"

That means that even though the default Laravel install is locking guzzlehttp/psr7 to 2.0.0, it should be safe to downgrade to ^1.7.

Solution for Laravel 8.4

1. Downgrade guzzlehttpsr7

composer require guzzlehttp/psr7 ^1.7

2. Install Laravel Analytics

composer require spatie/laravel-analytics

The long-term solution would be to update the dependencies on the googleapis/google-api-php-client package. See https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client/blob/master/composer.json

I hope that helps!
