[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Liverpool submitted the transfer paperwork before the deadline, and Marc Guehi also completed his medical, but the deal still fell through. The report states that Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been publicly opposed to selling Guehi this summer, firmly stating that the club would not let their captain go unless a suitable replacement was found. Before the summer transfer deadline, Crystal Palace had signed young defender Jaydee Canvot from Toulouse, but the move for Igor Julio (also pursued by West Ham) failed to materialize. Although the submitted agreement paperwork bought Liverpool extra time, Guehi is now confirmed to be staying at Crystal Palace. His contract expires at the end of this season. If no renewal is agreed upon by then, he will be able to choose his next club as a free agent, and Crystal Palace will receive no transfer fee. The 25-year-old Guehi is a product of Chelsea’s academy. He joined Crystal Palace in the summer of 2021 for a transfer fee of 23.34 million euros. To date, he has played 161 games for Palace, contributing 9 goals and 4 assists. This season, Guehi has already played 3 Premier League rounds for Palace and scored a spectacular long-range goal in the latest match. Currently, Guehi’s Transfermarkt value is 45 million euros.
