Transfer Fallout: Guehi's Palace Exit Looms as Wissa's Deadline Drama Revealed

Guehi's Liverpool Move Collapses Amid Palace Tensions

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is set to leave the club on a free transfer next summer after a proposed £35m move to Liverpool collapsed on Deadline Day. The Reds had finalized medical checks and prepared announcement materials before Palace abruptly halted the deal. Internal tensions between manager Oliver Glasner and chairman Steve Parish reportedly influenced the decision, with concerns Glasner might resign if Guehi departed.

Wissa's Newcastle Switch Sealed in Final Seconds

Newcastle narrowly secured Yoane Wissa’s £55m signing from Brentford after a frantic last-minute scramble. The deal nearly collapsed when a crucial document went unsigned, prompting a representative to sprint through the Magpies’ training ground to secure Wissa’s signature just 30 seconds before the deadline extension expired.

Post-Deadline Moves and Contract Sagas

Despite the UK window closing, Tottenham is fielding offers for midfielder Yves Bissouma, with Turkish, Portuguese, and Saudi clubs still active. Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling has opted to remain at Chelsea until January, dismissing rumors of an overseas move.

Champions League Squad Surprises

Chelsea sparked confusion by excluding new loan signing Facundo Buonanotte from their Champions League roster, despite the Argentine’s public excitement about competing in Europe. Levi Colwill, sidelined with an ACL injury, was included instead. Liverpool and Tottenham also raised eyebrows with unexpected squad omissions.

Manchester United’s Midfield Targets

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a January move for Chelsea’s Romeo Lavia, while maintaining interest in Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. The Red Devils face competition, however, as Lavia’s contract runs until 2030.

Mitrovic Swaps Saudi Clubs

Aleksandar Mitrovic has terminated his Al-Hilal contract to join Al-Rayyan, securing a £7.4m annual salary. The striker’s abrupt exit adds to Saudi Arabia’s transfer window drama.

Free Agents in Focus
