Overview

• Liverpool reached a reported £35m agreement and put Guehi through a medical in London before Palace pulled out after failing to secure cover, with Brighton’s Igor Julio instead moving to West Ham on loan.
• Reports say head coach Oliver Glasner demanded a replacement be signed and was prepared to walk away if Guehi was sold without one, a stance that prevailed over chairman Steve Parish.
• Guehi is said to be angry over the collapse and is expected to reject new contract talks, increasing the likelihood of a free departure when his deal ends next summer.
• Coverage indicates Liverpool could revisit a deal in January for about £25m, or wait to pursue the defender as a free agent at the end of the season.
• Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Gary Lineker criticised Palace’s handling of the saga, while England boss Thomas Tuchel said he gave players Monday off to sort transfer matters as Guehi joined the national camp.
