Crystal Palace creates club record of £37m to “direct” Guehi alternative
Crystal Palace submitted a club record bid to replace Marc Guehi, which was knocked down by his club.
Guehi stays at Selhurst Park after crazy deadline
Guehi looks ready to move to Anfield by the transfer deadline, and Liverpool agrees to the centre-back expenses, but the move fell for the paladins because they can’t get enough cover.
There are extensive reports that Oliver Glasner threatened to resign, which could play a major role in Steve Parish’s decision-making if the captain is sold, and the chairman is clearly eager to retain his FA Cup-winning manager.
It seems different if the 25-year-old has been brought to the replacement, and it’s not because of the lack of attempts, the Hawks borrowed deadlines for Brighton & Hove Albion Albion Defender Igor Julio.
According to a report by Gazzetta Dello Sport (via Sport Verseains), another centre-back is targeting at the Crystal Palace attractions, and they are shown to offer about €42 million (£37 million) to Inter Milan’s Yann Bisseck.
However, Serie A clubs stopped the move because given the age of 24 and versatility, they felt that the bid was not high enough, and he rarely aspired to fulfill his desire to move to Selhurst Park.
The palace obviously takes Bisseck very seriously because if a £37m offer is accepted, he will be their club record signing, which led Christian Benteke to pay £32m in 2016, but in some ways it is a bonus and they will now get the captain of the rest of the campaign.
“Conductor” Bisek could have been the ideal heir of guehi
Indeed, keeping Guehi’s service at least is a reward, with England International having the best performance last time before January, scoring a miracle goal and helping his side keep a clean sheet in Aston Villa’s 3-0 victory.
But it’s also the blow that the Palace is now missing the transfer fee, and the former Chelsea man is now able to sign a free contract at the end of the campaign, and obviously, he’s frustrated.
If Bisseck’s proposal was accepted, the Palace might not have been in this case, as the Germans could have replaced the ideal replacement, as he was called “commanding” the centre-back by scout Ben Mattinson.
Additionally, Inter Defender has outperformed Guehi in some key defensive metrics over the past year, and he is more willing to own the ball.
