Liverpool s buzzer-between Crystal Palace Captain Gehsey failed, 35 million pounds deal missed due to substitute vacancy
10:47pm, 2 September 2025Football
Anfield's midnight bell rang, but Liverpool's last try this summer failed to hit the line. England central defender Mark Gerch, who had already reached an agreement with Crystal Palace for a transfer fee of £35 million, suddenly announced that he would stay at Selhurst Park a few hours before the transfer window was closed. Despite the Reds submitting the transaction documents and completing a London medical examination, the transaction collapsed because Crystal Palace failed to sign a replacement in time.
25-year-old Gexi's contract is less than 12 months away and has not renewed his contract with the team so far. Rumors of leaving the team were once regarded as a foregone conclusion. However, coach Oliver Glasner adhered to the principle of "selling one requires buying one", and finally could not find a central defender of the same level before the deadline, so he could only stop the transaction. Gerch will continue to wear a red and blue robe and lead the team to the new season. He just blocked Liverpool in the Community Shield three weeks ago, and now he has pressed the transfer pause button with his own hands - the drama of fate is nothing more than this.
Liverpool's defense reinforcement plan was forced to run aground, and Klopp's "last puzzle" can only be left for the winter window to find the answer. Crystal Palace temporarily retained their defense and retained the psychological preparation for losing core to the free transfer next year. A tug-of-war worth 35 million pounds, with no winner in the end, is destined to be the most exciting finale in the Premier League this summer.
