Liverpool’s move to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi on transfer deadline day has fallen through.

A deal was agreed after the clubs reached a compromise on a fee, which would have been a minimum of £35m.

The 25-year-old was given permission to complete the formalities of his move, including a medical, in London on Monday, before signing what would have been a long-term contract with the Premier League champions.

But sources have now confirmed to BBC Sport that the deal is off.

Palace were refusing to sanction the transfer as they faced difficulties in sorting a replacement – with target Igor Julio opted for a move to West Ham.

They signed Toulouse centre-back Jaydee Canvot on deadline day, but Palace wanted two replacements lined up before sanctioning Guehi’s exit.
