Marc Gu\u00e9hi is extremely unhappy with Crystal Palace\u2019s decision to pull the plug on his \u00a335m transfer to Liverpool, which came after Oliver Glasner stepped in to prevent the move by threatening to resign if he was sold, \u00a0the Guardian understands.<\/p>\n
The Palace chairman, Steve Parish, reluctantly accepted Liverpool\u2019s offer for the England defender a few hours before Monday\u2019s deadline despite Glasner having insisted the 25-year-old must not be sold because there was no time to find an adequate replacement.<\/p>\n
It is understood that despite Gu\u00e9hi having completed the first part of his medical in expectation of his move to Anfield going through \u2013 and a deal sheet having been submitted before Monday\u2019s 7pm deadline \u2013 Parish changed his mind at the last minute after his manager, whose own contract at Selhurst Park expires next summer, said he would walk out if the deal went through.<\/p>\n
Gu\u00e9hi is believed to have been left bitterly disappointed by the U-turn, with the deal so far advanced that Palace had already signed off a farewell video that has since been leaked online and ends with the words \u201cThank you Skip\u201d.<\/p>\n
A private jet had also been lined up to take Gu\u00e9hi to Merseyside that evening. There is no suggestion that he will not play for Palace again, although one source close to Gu\u00e9hi has said that he is considering whether to continue as captain.<\/p>\n
In stark comparison to Alexander Isak \u2013 who effectively went on strike to force through his move to Anfield \u2013 the former Chelsea player is said to feel that he acted correctly during all the transfer speculation by continuing to play for Palace.<\/p>\n
Other members of the squad are also believed to be upset that Gu\u00e9hi was denied his move. He is expected to release a statement shortly.<\/p>\n
Liverpool could attempt to sign Gu\u00e9hi again in the January transfer window, although he will also be able to sign a pre-contract agreement for an overseas club.<\/p>\n
Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus are believed to have expressed an interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marc Gu\u00e9hi is extremely unhappy with Crystal Palace\u2019s decision to pull the plug on his \u00a335m transfer to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,18,18142,13,14,6,19,17,11,12,6435,18143,15,16,5,18144,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-39019","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-fai","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-headlines","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-latest-news","18":"tag-latestnews","19":"tag-league-of-ireland","20":"tag-local-soccer","21":"tag-main-news","22":"tag-mainnews","23":"tag-news","24":"tag-premiership","25":"tag-top-stories","26":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
