Marc Guehi's transfer flop | Write Up

Among all the transfers and failed transfers on deadline day, Marc Guehi’s move from Crystal Palace to Liverpool felt unique.

Liverpool’s interest in Guehi had been well-reported over the window. On Monday, Crystal Palace accepted a 35-million pound bid for the defender who was entering the last year of his contract. At 3pm UK time, four hours before the window closed, Fabrizio Romano gave it the “here we go” on X (usually a helpful marker for a transfer going ahead). Four and a half hours later, the deal was off.
