Guehi To Captain Palace Against Liverpool After Collapsed £35m Move

Palace halted the transfer due to replacement concerns, with Oliver Glasner saying the defender remains fully committed despite disappointment.

Overview

  • Liverpool were reported to have agreed a package worth around £35m plus a sell‑on clause before Crystal Palace pulled the plug on deadline day.
  • Glasner said he held a brief conversation with Guehi, described the player as initially disappointed, and affirmed he will give 100 percent for Palace.
  • The manager previously told club chiefs Palace could not handle the short‑term impact of selling their captain, which influenced the late decision to keep him.
  • Guehi is in the final year of his deal and is not expected to sign new terms, leaving Palace weighing a potential January sale against the risk of a free transfer next summer.
  • Liverpool’s defensive options have been hit by Giovanni Leoni’s ACL injury, and reporting varies on whether the club will return in January or wait, with Real Madrid also linked.
