Marc Guehi remains a target for Liverpool and sources at Real Madrid even believe the Crystal Palace defender has “given his word” to join, as they deny their own interest. Sources in Madrid instead believe Guehi has “given his word” to Liverpool, which certainly aligns with the events of deadline day.

Guehi had already agreed personal terms with Liverpool and was clearly more than willing to join Arne Slot‘s ranks in a deal that would have also included a 10 percent sell-on clause. Guehi move not likely to be tied to Konate’s future Noise around the player himself indicates he is not only calm about the situation but also unlikely to made any shock decisions over his future.

For what it’s worth, Steele reiterates that there has been no development regarding Real Madrid‘s interest in Konate, with talks ongoing with Liverpool. Guehi would have been a hugely important addition to Slot’s squad over the summer, with the failure to sign the Palace captain clearly impacting Liverpool’s squad balance.
