Arne Slot
September 2025
Slot admitted Liverpool were “very close” to landing Marc Guehi on deadline day, with a £35m deal agreed and paperwork filed. Palace pulled out at the last moment after failing to secure a replacement, leaving Guehi to remain at Selhurst Park. Slot reflected that such last-minute twists happen in football and compared it to Liverpool nearly losing players in the past. He stressed Guehi is still in a good place with Palace and left the door open for future opportunities.
