Overview
- Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said Liverpool had a medical scheduled for Guehi on deadline day before the club pulled out over what he called a significant risk to the team.
- Parish indicated coach Oliver Glasner opposed a sale he feared could not be covered, and Guehi stayed with Palace for the season despite wanting the move.
- Guehi will leave when his contract expires next summer, making him a free transfer target for elite clubs.
- Bayern executives have escalated efforts, with Max Eberl meeting the player's camp and Christoph Freund seeking fresh information from Glasner, as Eberl publicly framed the pursuit as contingency planning if Dayot Upamecano does not extend.
- Real Madrid are reported to be confident of landing Guehi, with Liverpool still interested, positioning the summer window as a competitive race.
