Unbelievable turnaround on transfer deadline day

Marc Guehi completed all the procedures to prepare to join Liverpool but the deal still fell through at the last minute.

Guehi has yet to fulfil his dream of moving to Liverpool.

Crystal Palace initially agreed to sell the England defender for £35m with a clause allowing them to receive a commission if Liverpool sold Guehi in the future.

Guehi completed his medical in London, and Liverpool even submitted paperwork to register him as a new player to the Premier League. However, the deal fell through because Crystal Palace could not find a quality replacement. Julio Igor, the name the "Blue Eagles" were targeting, surprisingly chose to join West Ham.

Oliver Glasner, Palace's head coach, does not want to lose Guehi as the London club prepares to compete in the European Cup. The Austrian strategist is said to have threatened to resign if the Selhurst team's board of directors does not keep the 2000-born centre-back.

Liverpool had to keep the same core of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and new signing Giovanni Leoni. Wataru Endo can also play as a central defender when needed, which gives the team some peace of mind. However, the reigning Premier League champions will restart the deal in early 2026. At that time, Guehi's price will decrease, as he only has half a year left on his contract.

As for Guehi, the huge shock of his dream of playing for the Premier League champions going up in smoke has left him devastated. The player has even prepared a farewell video for Crystal Palace fans. However, Glasner believes that Guehi will devote himself to Palace, because he always has a special love for the team, at least until January next year.
