"Liverpool may not complete the signing of Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi after all. Guehi is the subject of a 35 million offer from the Premier League champions, which Palace were understood to have accepted. The London club granted Guehi permission to undergo a medical in London, but external developments have put the move in doubt an hour before the transfer deadline."
"Guehi was supposed to be replaced by Brighton and Hove Albion central defender Igor Julio, however, issues with the Brazilian's medical meant Palace backed out of a loan deal, with the 27-year-old now expected to join West Ham United instead. As a result of Palace being left without adequate defensive cover, the move is now at risk of collapsing, according to The Athletic."
"Guehi has 12 months left on his Selhurst Park contract and the decision to let the club captain leave was motivated by the fact Palace deemed 35m too good an offer to reject for a player who would, in all likelihood, leave on a free transfer next summer. That may now prove to be the case, if the deal cannot be salvaged during the final hours."
Liverpool have made a 35 million offer for Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi, which Palace reportedly accepted. Guehi was granted permission to undergo a medical in London and is understood to have completed it, prepared to sign for Liverpool. Palace planned to replace him with Brighton's Igor Julio on loan, but medical issues with the Brazilian led Palace to back out of that loan and Julio is now expected to join West Ham. Palace are left without adequate defensive cover, putting Guehi's move at risk. Guehi has 12 months remaining on his contract and Palace considered 35m too good to refuse. Palace boss Oliver Glasner will hold talks with Guehi before a final decision.
