Crystal Palace pulled the plug on Marc Guehi's proposed move to Liverpool over fears manager Oliver Glasner could quit if the defender was sold on transfer deadline day.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi has hit a snag after Crystal Palace missed out on their top target to replace him. Brighton defender Igor Julio, who had been lined up by the Eagles, is now closing in on a move to West Ham instead. With Guehi wanted at Anfield in a £35 million ($47m) deal, the Eagles’ failure to land a replacement leaves Liverpool’s move hanging in the balance.
Liverpool have launched a fresh bid for Marc Guehi as they hope that Crystal Palace will finally accept their proposal and agree to sell their star defender before the summer transfer window closes on Monday. The Reds have been linked with a move for the England international throughout the summer and the champions are determined to secure his signature.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has broken his silence on the future of star defender Marc Guehi, who is at the centre of a transfer storm just days before the window slams shut. With Liverpool plotting a last-minute swoop for the England international, Palace find themselves fighting to keep hold of one of their most prized assets.
Former Crystal Palace defender James Tomkins has advised Liverpool to sign Marc Guehi from the Eagles as he considers his former team-mate as an upgrade over Ibrahima Konate. The Premier League champions have been linked with a move for the England international all through the summer and even saw two offers rejected by Palace.
Marc Guehi did little to calm transfer links to Liverpool after Crystal Palace's 1-0 victory over Fredrikstad on Thursday night. The 25-year-old England defender, who has just under a year left on his current deal, is valued at around £45 million by the south London club. But with Guehi potentially walking away for nothing next summer, the Premier League champions are determined not to overpay.
Oliver Glasner has confirmed both players will feature for Palace in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday night. Would you play them amid all the transfer noise? Let us know in the comments below! 👇
