Marc Guehi's anticipated transfer from Crystal Palace to Liverpool collapsed at the last minute on the 2025 summer transfer deadline day, despite the player completing a medical and reports of a £35 million agreement between the clubs. This unexpected cancellation left many surprised, as Guehi was set to join the Premier League champions during an active transfer window where Liverpool signed nine players but also lost 11 key members, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez.
Following the deal's collapse, Liverpool's manager Thomas Tuchel commented on Guehi's reaction and how the player has been coping. Tuchel praised Guehi for handling the disappointment maturely and revealed that the England international has remained professional and focused on his duties despite missing out on the big move to Anfield. Tuchel also hinted at having had private discussions with Guehi, showing his support and understanding during this difficult period for the defender.
Guehi’s social media activity indicated his acknowledgement of the failed move, sparking widespread speculation about his future and mindset after the setback. However, Tuchel’s remarks suggested that Guehi is committed to maintaining high performance levels at Crystal Palace, where he currently serves as captain, and is preparing to continue his development. The attention on Guehi’s situation underscores Liverpool’s ambition to strengthen their squad, but also the complexities and uncertainties inherent in high-profile transfer negotiations.
