There’s still January transfer window. I expect something to happen here, and it should be like half the price.

Glasner is a good one. Won the Europa League with Frankfurt and trophies with a team like Palace.
Also seems to be nice human.
Here he was defending his team which was accused of bad mentality after a loss. His 39 year old captain just played his third consecutive 90 minutes although he had blood in his urine.
Think he is one of the few who could actually improve United a bit.

Pretty sure that’s fake. It was circulating yesterday from a fake Guehi x account.

I could see Guehi setting his sights on a Bosman next summer now. He will feel wronged by Palace, and under no obligation whatsoever to ensure the club receives a transfer fee for him.
If he still comes to Liverpool his sporting ambitions will be satisfied, as he will be part of a side that will look to challenge on all fronts for the duration.
His salary will at least double, probably triple.
And he can look forward to a several million signing bonus as there will be no transfer fee for us to pay Palace.
It’s a toss-up for me as to whether this moves to January or next summer.

If you are Liverpool and you still want him you have to get him in Jan.
The competition in the summer will be far more intense do you want to risk it.

Will probably depend on how much we need him in January. If JoeGo stays fit and Leoni looks good in a couple of cup games then we’ll be fine to wait. If we’re playing Endo beside Virg then we’ll probably have to throw some money at it

Fair comments above, I see both sides of it as possible, January or Bosman.

It’s a move for the long term, not something that should be influenced by short term factors like whether someone else is fit or in form.

If he’s pissed off that he didn’t get to move then he’ll want to do so as soon as the January window opens.

If he signs in January he gets zilch, CP get the money -
If he signs next summer, he will probably get a signing fee, which could be a considerable amount..!

Yup but it’s whether it’s worth a few mil to get him in sooner. Probably save it on less wages in the long term

Too bad we can’t sign a precontract with him in January. Would settle any anxiety about someone else stepping in to buy him.

He’ll get a signing fee either way.

Don’t bosman players have the power to negotiate much higher than normal sign-on bonuses? For CP selling in Jan is much better $ wise. For us, getting him in the summer won’t come free but will probably be £10-15m cheaper than Jan. For Guehi, we could genuinely be in a title race in Jan (
) so what’s a potential PL winners medal worth to him? More than the higher sign-on bonus he’d get in the summer? Also keeping in mind he would be on much higher wages from Jan to May.
We’ll see.

- We are talking as if we are so sure that Glasner purposely sabotage the Igor signing.
- We are talking as if we know for sure that Glasner and Parish are at loggerheads
I would have felt better if we did sign Guehi but that does not mean there was anything wrong with CP’s behaviour.
They have always insisted that they will only let him leave when there is a replacement. They identified the replacement, brought him in for a medical but for whatever reasons, decide not to sign him. That is within their rights to do. They are not about to sign a player they do not feel 100% to when they already have a very good player contracted to them and not obliged to sell.
Then why let him come to us for a medical? Well, in the interest of time. These 2 medicals have to take place concurrently and not one after another in order to finish the deals on time. Not sure what’s the fuss. Until a contract is signed, a deal is not finalised.

They agreed a deal. They allowed their captain to take a medical and agree terms. Their treatment of Guehi and Liverpool is at the very least disrespectful.

Won’t be surprised if Liverpool and Palace are negotiating now to get the move finalized effective 1st of Jan 2026. One that’s not contingent on whether Palace needs a CB as a replacement.
This should be something that should placate Guehi as well.

I can’t think of any other reason why you’d tell a prospective signing who you know is considering another club that you might not play them.

I suspect that such a deal was in place to take place on 1st September 2025. Everything went quiet on this at the end of July with no suggestion that it wouldn’t happen. 1st January would make sense as there can be no shenanigans with pulling the rug at the last second.
