Liverpool Plans Abandonment of Marc Guehi Transfer After Crystal Palace Rejects Offers

Liverpool's summer transfer window in 2025 has been marked by strategic evolution rather than a complete overhaul, as they build on their Premier League title success. However, their efforts to strengthen the squad have encountered obstacles, notably with Crystal Palace rejecting two offers for defender Marc Guehi, describing the bids as 'insulting' and prompting Liverpool to consider walking away from the pursuit. Meanwhile, former Liverpool midfielder Bobby Clark has returned to English football on a season-long loan to Derby County from RB Salzburg, seeking more first-team opportunities after previously winning the Carabao Cup under Jurgen Klopp in 2024. These moves illustrate Liverpool's balancing act between maintaining a strong championship-winning core and managing challenges in the transfer market.
