Liverpool’s pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi ended in dramatic fashion on transfer deadline day, as a £35 million agreement evaporated in the final hours.

Despite Palace and Liverpool settling on a fee and Guehi completing a medical in London, Palace chairman Steve Parish pulled the plug when their intended replacement, Igor Julio, opted for West Ham instead of Selhurst Park.

With no alternative centre-back secured, Palace declined to sanction Guehi’s departure, leaving the defender stranded once the deadline passed.

Oliver Glasner even threatened to resign if Guehi was allowed to leave, as DaveOCKOP first reported.

Since the transfer collapse, it has been reported that Liverpool will only sigh Guehi on a free transfer next summer.

But speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Reds are not completely ruling out a January move should circumstances change in the future:

“You can imagine in the season in three, four months a lot of things can change,” Romano said.

“There could be injuries, there could be tactical problems, there could be needs for the coach.”

“But as of today, the intention of Liverpool is to go for Marc Guehi as a free agent, not to go for him in the January window.”

“If something happens in the next months, Liverpool can decide to revisit their decision and get Guehi in January by negotiating with Palace,” Romano explained

“But Liverpool are not happy with what happened on deadline day and they are planning for Guehi as a target on a free transfer.

“If in the next months something will happen at Liverpool or Arne Slot, or anyone at the club will decide okay let’s go for Guehi immediately, January can still be the case.”

“But for now the intention is for a free transfer in 2026.”
