The Reds agreed a £35million deal late in the window and the 25-year-old completed his medical in London after talkSPORT reported over the weekend about the Reds making an opening offer for the England international.

However, Palace saw a move for Igor collapse as the Brighton defender looked set to join West Ham instead.

And despite a deal sheet being submitted, Guehi will remain at Palace.

talkSPORT understands that there are suggestions that Oliver Glasner has played a direct role in the deal not going through.

Glasner threatened to walk away from the club if Guehi was sold after he failed to sign two new centre-backs.

talkSPORT reported earlier in the month that the defender would be content to see out the final year of his contract.

Guehi scored for Palace on Sunday night in their 3-0 win away to Aston Villa in what appeared to be his farewell appearance.

talkSPORT understands that Guehi understood the decision for him to stay at Palace.

He is believed to have acted very professionally through the saga, speaking directly to Glasner and owner Steve Parish.

The saga is now over and Liverpool have missed out on their man.

Despite this, they are set to sign Alexander Isak by forking out a British record £125m to prise him away from Newcastle.

The transfer, when official, will take Liverpool's summer spending spree to a staggering £417.5m.

Chelsea previously held the record after splashing out £434.5m on 11 new players in 2023.

Guehi's move would have occurred weeks after Palace sold Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.

But manager Glasner will be delighted to keep hold off the centre-back having called for their captain to stay.

"I told the chairman we have to keep Marc if we want to play a successful season," he said.

"We have no chance to find the right replacement in one day.

We all agreed that we just sell Marc if we have the right replacement in the building.
