Why did Liverpool not challenge City for Marc Guehi? Ultimately, the total package was considered too much.
Although Guehi was on the brink of signing for them for £35million on September 1, Liverpool felt the situation changed considerably over recent months.
In the summer, the England international was recognised as a brilliant market opportunity.
He was not so appealing now, given the overall investment required to get him and the fact he would have been available on a free transfer in five months if he stayed at Crystal Palace until his contract expired this summer

That was on the athletic that I just read. Now I'm not saying that that's the biggest pile of b******* I've ever read in my entire life however.....it's gotta be up there
There isn't a single bit of it that makes any kind of logical sense
We thought he was value at 35 million but not value at 20? We didn't bid because we can get him on a free, despite the fact that he's now at Manchester City? Are we planning to send an offer to his agent to sign him on a free still? Please someone help me out with this
