Liverpool will be on high alert after what Crystal Palace owner has said about Marc Guehi

Marc Guehi’s future remains a big talking point going into the January transfer window after his deadline day move to Liverpool in the summer collapsed last minute. 

Guehi was on the verge of signing for the Reds, with £35m deal agreed between the two clubs and the player had even completed his medical in London.

However, Crystal Palace ended up pulling the plug on the deal in the very last minute, preventing the player his big move to Anfield.

The decision to not sell Guehi was a big one as it meant that the club would lose him for free next summer with the player entering the final year of his contract.

In an interview with talkSPORT, Palace owner and chairman Steve Parish has given an inside scoop on why the ‘difficult’ decision was made.

Parish explained that he felt keeping the player for another season was necessary for Palace to enjoy a strong season, specially with the club playing in their first European competition.

“It’s a difficult decision. It’s as simple as that these things are never black and white.
