Liverpool fail with their move to sign Marc Guehi

"Liverpool have failed with their move to sign the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. The 25-year-old was expected to join Liverpool this summer, but Crystal Palace have not been able to sign a replacement, and they have pulled the plug on the deal. The two clubs had previously agreed on a 35 million deal for the player. The 25-year-old had undergone his medical with Liverpool as well, as per David Ornstein."

"The defender will be thoroughly disappointed with the situation, and it remains to be seen whether he can reintegrate into the side seamlessly. Crystal Palace have denied him a career-defining move, and that will surely leave a sour taste in the player's mouth. As for Liverpool, they will need to rely on Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni until the January transfer window as backup options to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate."

Liverpool’s transfer bid for Marc Guehi collapsed after Crystal Palace failed to sign a replacement and withdrew from the previously agreed £35m deal. Guehi, 25, had already undergone a medical with Liverpool and is in the final year of his contract. Guehi has indicated he does not wish to sign a new deal, and Palace’s decision is likely to leave him disappointed and unwilling to extend. Liverpool must rely on Joe Gomez and Giovanni Leoni as backups to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate until January. Guehi’s value is expected to fall, making a nominal January move or a free transfer in summer probable.
