Liverpool’s move for Marc Guehi could be at risk after Crystal Palace suffered a late setback on deadline day, according to reports. The Reds have finally agreed a last-minute deal to sign Guehi after months of trying to reach a compromise in talks. They are set to pay around £35million for the player’s signature, with Crystal Palace inserting a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the deal.
In response, the south Londoners were reportedly set to raid rivals Brighton and Hove Albion for the signature of Igor Julio. He was due to move to Selhurst Park on loan until the end of the season. However, it has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that the move has collapsed in a dramatic twist to the tale.
Igor is no longer expected to join the Eagles, with the news arriving as soon as Guehi had completed a medical ahead of his move to Liverpool. It leaves Crystal Palace with just over two hours to find a replacement for the England international.
Only time will tell if the setback impacts Guehi’s proposed Anfield switch, which is seemingly all but done. Liverpool are said to be ‘waiting for the outcome’ and will be desperately hoping that Crystal Palace do not block the move at the eleventh hour.
