He's COMING: Marc Guehi will join Liverpool after deadline day glitch | OneFootball

Liverpool narrowly missed out on the signing of Marc Guehi on transfer deadline day.

The Reds agreed to pay £35m - plus £10m in add-ons - for the Crystal Palace captain before the FA Cup holders had a last-minute change of heart.

Owing to a lack of a replacement, Palace were unwilling to let the England international go. Developments left Liverpool stunned and Guehi, 25, disappointed.

There was genuine optimism that Guehi could be signed - and it would have served as useful insurance in case Ibrahima Konate ran his contract down.

Palace want Disasi as Guehi replacement

The centre-back’s contract expires in 2026 and if Liverpool attempt to sign him in January it could be for much less than the sums quoted this summer.

And according to a new report in Caught Offside, a deal to take Guehi to Anfield looks all but inevitable.

In a report discussing Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, it’s claimed that the Eagles are interested in the Frenchman - who finds himself with the FIFA Club World Cup champions’ so-called “bomb squad”.

Liverpool edge towards Guehi deal

Disasi is locked out of the first-team picture at Stamford Bridge and is widely expected to move on this winter. The 27-year-old has been targetted by not only Palace but West Ham and NEOM FC in Saudi Arabia.

“Crystal Palace are monitoring developments closely, especially as Marc Guehi edges towards a big-money move to Liverpool,” the report reads.

Liverpool have been left undermanned in the central defensive department as a result of missing out on Guehi. There is captain Virgil van Dijk, as well as Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez as senior options.
