Liverpool had been given permission to undergo a medical for the Englishman, with the deal said to be worth around £35million.

The Reds have been in dire need of defensive reinforcement, and even though players such as Giovanni Leoni were brought in, it was clear that Guehi was their dream target.

“Marc Guéhi’s proposed £35million move to Liverpool seems to have hit a snag despite the England centre back starting a medical,” Gary Jacob wrote for The Times.

“Crystal Palace have encountered an unknown problem trying to sign a defensive replacement to allow Guéhi to leave.

“Palace want someone in addition to centre back Igor Julio joining on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

“There are less than three hours of the window left for Palace to resolve the issue and in turn, that of Guéhi’s future.”

Liverpool have done many things right this summer but losing Guehi would be a massive blow.

At the moment, it’s clear what both Guehi and Liverpool want and, unless Palace don’t mind losing him for free at the end of the season, this will be the last chance they get to earn some money from their star man.

Indeed, a fee worth £35million is a steal for the centre-back, which is yet another reason why this transfer cannot slip through the cracks.
