At a press conference this Friday, Arne Slot, the Liverpool coach, returned to this episode. “” It would be ridiculous to deny that we were close to recruiting it. It's so obvious. These are things that happen in football. We would have liked to recruit it, of course. If we think we can strengthen the team, we never hesitate to do so. It is not as if we had no more options for this position. It's a shame, not only for us, but also for the player, I think. But he is in good position, he plays for Palace, where he won the Charity Shield and the FA Cup, with an excellent manager. Let's see what the future has in store for us and us ». Brilliant with the English selection during the last rally, Marc Guéhi could engage free with Liverpool in next summer.
