Overview

• Crystal Palace pulled out of a reported £35m deal with Liverpool on deadline day after failing to secure a replacement, halting Marc Guehi’s proposed transfer.
• Oliver Glasner said Guehi was "a little bit disappointed" by the saga but stressed his captain told him he likes Palace and will give his best.
• Guehi’s contract runs to summer 2026, creating January pre‑contract possibilities for foreign clubs and raising the prospect of a cut‑price winter sale or a free next year, according to reports.
• Liverpool are still credited with interest, with local reporting noting Giovanni Leoni’s ACL injury could test the club’s previous reluctance to move in January.
• Real Madrid are also linked in recent coverage, though claims about the player’s preference remain unconfirmed and vary by outlet.
