Marc Guehi opens up on what happened after failed £35m Liverpool transfer

Marc Guehi has opened up on his failed move from Crystal Palace to Liverpool last month. The Reds had agreed a £35million fee to sign Guehi and bolster their centre-back options on transfer deadline day, only for the deal to collapse after Palace were unable to recruit a suitable replacement in time.

Guehi has continued to impress with the Londoners and was a star performer in their 2-1 home Premier League win over Liverpool last weekend that ensured a club-record 18th game unbeaten.

And when told the switch from business to usual after his transfer disappointment had appeared seamless, Guehi replied: "Because it was! The sun goes up, the sun comes down. Life goes on.

"That's my mindset, and if you adopt that mindset in most things, you just get on with life and move on.

"Fortunately for me I'm at a football club that has helped me and given me so much. So it does make it that much easier."

Asked by TNT Sports what helped him cope with the situation, Guehi added: "Having my family there the whole time, friends, people that have always been there for me, and then the football club.

"People that you come in to work with every single day, staff, team-mates, (they are) always there. So when they're joking and laughing and smiling, it just makes it easy, to be honest.

"It's been really, really good in that sense."

Guehi will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season, with Liverpool still interested in the 25-year-old England international.

And while the Reds have a policy of preferring not to sign players for a fee just months before they can be snapped up for nothing, they could consider a move in January for Guehi after the season-ending ACL injury suffered by teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni last week.
