And, even though a deal sheet was submitted to give both Crystal Palace and Liverpool time to get a deal finalised, in the end, it never came to fruition.

“Sources suggest there were fears the manager would quit if he lost his captain with no replacement signed.”

At the moment, the main thing for Liverpool to focus on is creating chemistry among their ranks and ensuring their new arrivals fit in well.
Here’s hoping that the Reds missing out on Guehi this summer doesn’t come back to bite them this term.
