Manchester City newbie Marc Guehi has shed light on his failed move to Premier League rivals Liverpool after a deal fell through in the summer.<\/p>\n
Guehi<\/strong> has been one of the Premier League\u2019s most sought-after players over the past year, with Liverpool and Man City among those vying for his services.<\/p>\n In the summer, the England international came close to joining Liverpool<\/strong> as the Premier League holders agreed a deal worth around \u00a335m on deadline day. However, Crystal Palace opted to pull the plug at the eleventh hour, as they did not have enough time to secure a suitable replacement.<\/p>\n This was a blow for Liverpool as they have been woeful defensively this season, while it left them at risk of missing out completely as they have faced heavy competition for his services in recent weeks.<\/p>\n European sides were also mentioned as possible destinations for Guehi, but he has settled on a move to Man City, who stepped up their interest after Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol suffered injuries.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Marc Guehi transfer exposes amateur FSG\u2019s decline as latest reason for failed Liverpool deal revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Guehi impressed in his debut for Man City at the weekend as he helped Pep Guardiola\u2019s side keep a clean sheet in the 2-0 win against Wolves.<\/p>\n Now, Guehi has commented on his failed move to Liverpool, which was \u201cvery close\u201d to going through.<\/p>\n \u201cVery close,\u201d Guehi said when asked how close he came to joining Liverpool in the summer.<\/p>\n \u201cThe medical was pretty much done and then it got pulled at the last minute. So, quite close!<\/p>\n \u201cBut I was still OK. My mindset\u2019s always, \u2018Move on to the next one\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd also that what will be, will be. God\u2019s got a plan for me. Just move on to the next one and focus on what I could do for Palace.\u201d<\/p>\n In the summer, there was a theme of players spitting their dummies out to force a transfer, with Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa the prime examples.<\/p>\n Guehi, meanwhile, has remained professional this season and he has revealed why he opted to keep his head down.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> He added: \u201cIt would be doing Palace a disservice if I was acting a certain way because that club has given me everything.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, the least I can do is show up to work every single day, shut my mouth and keep my head down. That\u2019s the most important thing.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is not me giving the football club everything \u2014 they have given me everything.<\/p>\n \u201cThey give me the opportunity to play and support us when things go well and things go bad.\u201d<\/p>\n Guehi has also insisted that he has joined Man City because he feels they will help him \u201cgrow as a player\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels like it\u2019s been going on forever. But I\u2019m just glad that I got this move over the line,\u201d Guehi continued.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m now really confident that this is the place for me to improve and to grow as a player.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt from conversations \u2014 through talking with some players here \u2014 that this was the place for me to improve and just to help as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City newbie Marc Guehi has shed light on his failed move to Premier League rivals Liverpool after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721638,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,225,179,886,2697,12,101,16,2970,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-721637","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-manchester-city","14":"tag-marc-guehi","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-uncategorized","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115960853655917304","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
