In a dramatic turn of events on the final day of the transfer window, Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi was left 'extremely unhappy' after his highly-anticipated move to Liverpool was blocked.
According to reports, the club's manager, Oliver Glasner, intervened by threatening to resign if the 25-year-old England international was sold, leading chairman Steve Parish to reluctantly reverse a deal that was already well underway.
Guehi had reportedly completed the first part of his medical and a deal sheet had been submitted, with a private jet even lined up to take him to Merseyside.
A farewell video had also been signed off by the club and has since been leaked online, further highlighting how close the transfer was to being completed.
The defender is said to be 'bitterly disappointed' by the U-turn, with one source close to him suggesting he is considering giving up his captaincy in protest.
Unlike other players who have gone on strike to force a move, Guehi is said to have acted professionally throughout the speculation.
His teammates are also believed to be upset that he was denied his move.
While Liverpool could try to sign him again in the January transfer window, overseas clubs such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Juventus have also reportedly expressed interest.
The incident underscores the intense power dynamics and last-minute chaos that can define the final moments of a transfer window, leaving even star players at the mercy of their club's internal politics.
