Transfer Breakdown
Crystal Palace defender and England international Marc Guehi will remain at Selhurst Park after his proposed transfer to Liverpool failed to come to fruition. Although the move was previously viewed as imminent, the deal ultimately collapsed.
Guehi had already agreed personal terms with Liverpool, completed his medical checks, and travelled to Merseyside fully expecting to finalise his contract with the Premier League champions. However, he did not receive final approval to sign with Liverpool.

Crystal Palace’s Stance
Eagles manager Oliver Glasner reportedly intervened, urging Crystal Palace’s hierarchy to keep hold of Guehi due to their unsuccessful attempts to bring in a new centre-back. The club had actively negotiated with Brighton for Igor and with Toulouse for JD Canvo, but neither player arrived before the transfer deadline.
Guehi’s Record at Selhurst Park
Last season, Marc Guehi featured in 44 matches across all competitions for Crystal Palace. Over the campaign, the defender found the net 3 times and contributed 2 assists. He remains under contract with the FA Cup holders until next summer.
