Reds to face tough Guehi transfer battle…
Liverpool is gearing up for a showdown to win over Marc Guehi in January. The 25-year-old defender was about to trade his Crystal Palace nest for Anfield on transfer deadline day. With a £35 million ($47 million) deal struck, he even filmed his goodbye video, potentially with tears that could rival a Niagara Falls commercial. However, Palace was left scrambling for a replacement, and manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign, dramatically clutching his chest like in a soap opera finale but without the dramatic music.
Glasner got his way and kept Guehi, who stayed as calm as a penguin wearing sunglasses. Liverpool plans to revisit their interest come January, aiming for a good deal since Guehi will have six months remaining on his contract. But they’re not the only team with their eyes on the prize, as clubs from abroad will also be able to charm the defender with promises, possibly involving hugs from their mascots. Guehi could eventually make his move after what appears to be a long, drawn-out farewell, highlighted by inspiring farewells akin to Oscar-worthy acceptance speeches.
