Crystal Palace Blocks Guehi’s Liverpool Move…
Marc Guehi is refusing to sign a new Crystal Palace contract after his Liverpool move went kaboom on deadline day. Just when the red carpet to Anfield was almost rolled out, Palace decided to pull the plug, leaving Guehi as bewildered as a cat at a dog show. After passing the first medical hurdle, Palace’s chairman Steve Parish called off the deal, reportedly fearing Coach Glasner might vanish faster than a magician’s assistant if his captain booked it to Liverpool. Left with no choice, Guehi is sticking with Palace until January but seems as eager to extend his contract as a cat crossing a floor of sticky tape!
Liverpool wanted Guehi, but so do Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Juventus, all lining up like it’s the Black Friday sale of soccer. Liverpool may attempt a January bid bargain, though landing Guehi might require more luck than finding a needle in a pile of spaghetti. Despite his smiles on England duty, Guehi is said to be as pleased with Palace’s decision as a chicken entering a BBQ joint. With rumors of him ditching the captaincy, his feelings are clearer than a sunlit sky, and a public statement from him is expected soon – though it’s doubtful he’ll thank Palace for the plot twists!
