Palace Pulls Plug on Guéhi’s Liverpool Transfer After Manager’s Reported Ultimatum

A reported resignation threat from Oliver Glasner prompted Crystal Palace to pull out late.

Overview

  • The deadline-day deal for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi to join Liverpool collapsed at the final moment after a late reversal by chairman Steve Parish.
  • Outlets citing the Guardian report that Oliver Glasner warned he would resign if Guéhi was sold without a suitable replacement, following heated talks with Parish.
  • Reports say the clubs had settled on a fee of about €40 million and that Guéhi completed a medical before the move was halted.
  • A purported farewell video appeared on social media, and a private jet was reportedly prepared to fly the defender to Liverpool.
