Addressing Guehi’s Unsuccessful Transfer: Insights and Reactions

Liverpool faced an unexpected setback on deadline day as defender Marc Guehi opted to stay at Crystal Palace. Head coach Arne Slot had to address the situation.

Details: Slot acknowledged the club’s interest in Guehi and confirmed that a deal was very close to being finalized. He hinted that the club might revisit this transfer in the future.

Quote: “It would be amusing if I denied that we were really close to signing Marc. That’s a clear fact—these situations happen in football. We wanted him to join us. It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t complete the deal, but we’ll see what the future brings,” Slot mentioned during his press conference.

Reminder: Previous reports suggested that Liverpool will not make another attempt to sign Guehi in the winter, opting instead to wait until next summer when he may be available as a free agent.
