Marc Guehi Reaffirms Dedication to Crystal Palace After Liverpool Move Collapses
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has underlined his loyalty to the Eagles after a dramatic transfer deadline day saw his long-anticipated move to Liverpool collapse. The 24-year-old centre-back had been strongly linked with a switch to Anfield, with reports suggesting Jürgen Klopp’s side viewed him as the perfect long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk.

Rather than expressing disappointment, Guehi has made it clear he remains fully committed to Palace’s cause. Speaking after the closure of the window, he emphasized his gratitude to the club and its fans, insisting his ambitions align with the Eagles’ continued growth in the Premier League. “Of course, there was speculation, and everyone knows what was being said, but my head and heart are with Palace,” Guehi said. “This is a special club that gave me the platform to develop, and I’m determined to give everything on the pitch this season.”
