What Sparked Marc Guehi Transfer Collapse as Liverpool Suffer Deadline Day Blow - Liverpool Echo
Crystal Palace's planned sale of defender Marc Guehi to Liverpool collapsed due to a failed loan deal for Igor Julio, leading the club to explore alternative defensive signings including Axel Disasi.
- Crystal Palace's manager Oliver Glasner blocked Marc Guehi's £35 million transfer to Liverpool on the 2025 transfer deadline day due to no suitable replacement being available.
- Liverpool agreed a fee and Guehi underwent a medical before the 7pm deadline, but Palace's attempt to loan Igor Julio as a replacement fell through after West Ham intervened.
- Glasner repeatedly stated his refusal to sell Guehi without an adequate replacement, threatening to quit and emphasizing Guehi's value amid the club's first European campaign.
- Guehi, an England international and Palace captain, scored in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa, and while loving the club, he accepted the situation of staying this season.
- The collapsed transfer leaves Liverpool well-stocked in defense but might renew interest later, while Palace maintains their key player as they manage financial and sporting challenges.
