"However, Palace manager Oliver Glasner intervened decisively. With little time to secure a replacement, Glasner is understood to have threatened to quit if his star defender was allowed to leave. Faced with the risk of losing his manager as well as his captain-in-waiting, Parish reversed his decision and pulled the plug on the transfer just hours before the window closed."
"The U-turn left Guehi furious. According to The Times, the defender now feels let down by the club and has resolved not to extend his stay. Palace may have kept him for the time being, but the long-term consequences of their decision look increasingly bleak. Unless circumstances change dramatically, Guehi will be free to negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January."
Marc Guehi, 25, will run down the final year of his Crystal Palace contract and leave as a free agent next summer. A late move to Liverpool was close to completion after Palace accepted a bid, Guehi underwent initial medical checks and a deal sheet was submitted. Palace manager Oliver Glasner intervened, reportedly threatening to quit without a replacement, prompting chairman Steve Parish to pull the plug. The U-turn left Guehi furious and he has resolved not to extend his stay. Guehi can negotiate pre-contracts from January; Palace risk losing him for no fee, increasing pressure on Glasner and the club.
