Marc Guehi Ready For Drastic Response After Liverpool Transfer Collapse

Marc Guehi's thoughts and feelings have emerged after his £35 million move to Liverpool collapsed at the final hurdle.

Marc Guehi is reportedly ready to take drastic action after his £35 million move to Liverpool fell through at the death.

The Crystal Palace captain looked set to follow Alexander Isak in moving to the Premier League champions on deadline day, with a £35 million offer accepted.

Having agreed a five-year deal, Guehi spent the majority of Monday in Liverpool's London office, beginning the first part of a medical.

A deal sheet was filled in before the 7pm deadline to give extra time to finalise the transfer, with proceedings so advance that Palace had prepared a farewell video which was later leaked online.

But Palace pulled the plug, with manager Oliver Glasner at the heart of the decision - reportedly threatening to resign before his contract expires in the summer if Guehi was sold and no replacement was secured.

Although they brought in Jaydee Canvot from Toulouse, West Ham stole defender Igor off them on loan from Brighton and Palace ran out of time to get another centre-back in the door.

Guehi, who led Palace to FA Cup and Community Shield triumphs at Wembley, behaved respectfully throughout and scored in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

However, a report from Ed Aarons from The Guardian claims that he is "extremely unhappy" and "bitterly disappointed" about being denied his big move at the eleventh hour when he feels as though he want about business in the right way.

Though there is no suggestion he will down tools, the report says a source close to the England international revealed he is contemplating whether to relinquish the Palace captaincy after the situation which left some of his teammates upset.

Guehi is expected to release a statement on the matter but The Times say he has no intention of signing a new contract at Selhurst Park.

His current deal with the Eagles expires in the summer and he is able to discuss a pre-contract with overseas clubs in January.

Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus are all keeping tabs, while Liverpool could go back in for the former Chelsea academy player in the winter market.

Guehi has joined up with England ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, with Palace next in action on 13 September against Sunderland.
