Unbelievable News — But Does It Hold Water?

The headline is sensational: “Palace star Guéhi agrees 4-year contract with Liverpool.” But as is so often the case in modern football journalism, the reality is more tangled than the headlines suggest.

The story begins with Marc Guéhi, the Crystal Palace captain and England international, who has long been on Liverpool’s radar. Reports during the 2025 summer window indicated that Liverpool offered £35 million for him, with personal terms reportedly already agreed. Some outlets went further: they claimed that Guéhi was set to sign a five-year contract at Anfield.  That would cover 2025 through 2030 — more than the “4 years” the headline asserts.

Yet, as the hours ticked down to the transfer deadline, the plot thickened. Although Palace initially accepted Liverpool’s bid and Guéhi underwent at least part of a medical, the deal collapsed at the last minute.  The reason? Palace had failed to secure a suitable replacement, and manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign if Guéhi was sold without a proper plan for the defence. So, despite all signals pointing toward a big-money Anfield move, the transfer was pulled off the table in the cruellest of twists.

That means the claim “Guéhi agrees 4-year contract with Liverpool” is, practically speaking, not accurate as of today. The “agreement” on personal terms may have existed, but no contract was ever formally registered. Even more, multiple sources hint that what was on the table wasn’t four years but five

Despite the collapse, this saga has left clear ripples:

  • Guéhi is still contracted with Palace and remains a central figure there, at least until June 2026.
  • The breakdown of the deal hasn’t ended speculation — many expect another move in future windows, perhaps when Palace face the risk of losing him on a free transfer.
  • For Liverpool, it’s a setback in their defensive recruitment plans, but a potential opportunity — they may revisit their interest in Guéhi in January or next summer.

Conclusion

So, the headline “Unbelievable — Guéhi agrees 4-year deal with Liverpool” is misleading. While there was momentum and agreement in principle, no binding contract was finalized, and the move unraveled spectacularly. To make matters even more confusing, the deal most sources reported was for five years, not four.
