Marc Guehi had agreed terms, the paperwork was ready, and the Crystal Palace captain was preparing for life at Anfield.

Then, at the very last moment, Palace slammed the door shut.

For Guehi, the collapse hit hardest.



In reality, they’ve almost guaranteed losing Guehi for nothing next summer, when his contract runs out and the choice of destination is entirely his.

Palace welcome Liverpool in the league, and Guehi will find himself directly up against the team he expected to join.

Palace edged the Community Shield on penalties, with Guehi lifting silverware just as talk of the transfer was gathering pace.

That injury exposes exactly why Liverpool were so desperate for Guehi in the first place, and it could push the club back to the table sooner than planned as per The Express.

Marc Guehi could have helped Liverpool a great deal in terms of Homegrown Quota too.

Liverpool originally intended to wait until the summer and take Guehi on a free.
