Liverpool's move to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi on transfer deadline day has fallen through.

A deal was agreed after the clubs reached a compromise on a fee, which would have been a minimum of £35m.

The 25-year-old was given permission to complete the formalities of his move - including a medical - in London on Monday, before signing what would have been a long-term contract with the Premier League champions.

But sources have now confirmed to BBC Sport that the deal is off.

Palace were refusing to sanction the transfer as they faced difficulties in sorting a replacement - with target Igor Julio opted for a move to West Ham.

Earlier today we asked for your views on Guehi's impending departure - and we had those ready to publish - but now have to ask how you are feeling with the move off?

Is this the best bit of business from the summer window?

Or does this just delay the inevitable?

New Crystal Palace defender Jaydee Canvot says it is a "big step" for him after completing a permanent move to the club.

The 19-year-old centre back has joined from Ligue 1 side Toulouse on a four-year deal.

He made his professional breakthrough last season and played 20 times across all competitions.

"It's very exciting. Crystal Palace are a really good club with a good sporting project," Canvot told club media.

"It's a big step because it's the best championship in the world, so I'm excited to start."

The France under-20 international becomes the Eagles' fourth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Walter Benítez, Borna Sosa and Yeremy Pino.

Chairman Steve Parish added: "Jaydee is an exciting talent whose progress has been on our radar for some time. We are pleased to welcome him to South London.

"His arrival bolsters a squad already brimming with talent and potential, and I look forward to seeing his impact both this season, and in the future, in red and blue."

Odsonne Edouard has completed a permanent move to Ligue 1 side Lens.

The 27-year-old forward scored 21 goals in 105 appearances across all competitions for the Eagles across a four-year spell at Selhurst Park.

Edouard spent last season on loan in the Premier League with Leicester City.

It now looks like Brighton centre-back Igor Julio is currently more likely to join West Ham on loan rather than Crystal Palace.

He had been subject of interest from the Eagles as they prepare for the departure of Marc Guehi. It is unclear if this would have any impact on that proposed deal.

The Eagles want two centre-backs if they let Guehi go.

Portsmouth are getting closer to completing a permanent deal for Crystal Palace forward Franco Umeh.

One source who has spoken to BBC Sport suggests the fee could be around £500,000.

Umeh has been on the bench for Oliver Glaser's side on a few occasions but has not made a senior appearance for the club.

The 20-year-old joined Palace from Cork City in 2023 and has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth level.

Crystal Palace have turned their attentions to Brighton centre-back Igor Julio in their search for a potential Marc Guehi replacement.

Palace are set to confirm the signing of Toulouse centre-back Jaydee Canvot, but are also after a second defender in order to let Guehi leave for Liverpool.

Igor is emerging a target for Palace and talks are understood to be under way before the 19:00 BST deadline.

Match of the Day pundit Wayne Rooney says Marc Guehi has shown "a great level of professionalism" after the defender scored on what could be his final Crystal Palace appearance.

The 25-year-old, who has one year left on his contract, has been the subject of an improved bid from Liverpool of £35m, which includes a 10% sell-on clause.

Former Manchester United striker Rooney said on BBC Match of the Day: "He has got everything you need for a centre-back in this game.

"He has shown a great level of professionalism to go out there and play for the team.

"He deserves a lot of credit because we have seen certain players refuse to play. But he deserves great credit for doing the right thing."

We asked for your views on what is still needed by Crystal Palace on transfer deadline day.

Here are some of your comments:

Les: Definitely a defender. If Marc Guehi leaves then two defenders. Jean-Philippe Mateta is our only striker so another one would be ideal. Want Oliver Glasner to sign a new contract too.

Philip: Long-term injuries have not helped. We still need another centre-back, cover for Daniel Munoz at right-back and preferably cover as Ismaili Sarr.

Hector: We have not been very active in the transfer window but nice to see Yeremy Pino through the door as the Eze replacement. But, as usual, we need to be very active at the end of the transfer window, bringing in a new centre-back if Guehi leaves and adding to overall squad depth as our team just looks so thin. Need to get bodies in quickly!

Robert: If Liverpool want to secure Guehi before he becomes a free agent (and takes a better deal from Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern) why not buy him now and loan him back to Palace until, say, January? That way both clubs get the best deal and Guehi moves to his chosen club. Win, win!

Will: At an absolute minimum two centre-backs. The addition of a dynamic/attacking midfielder would be nice to add depth for Europe, but in all honesty it feels like too little, too late, as has often been the case with Palace in transfer windows. We would have been much more comfortable in getting business done early to settle the Guehi issue!

George: We need to be the busiest club on deadline day. At least two new attacking players and two new defenders. Minimum. Back the best manager and team we've ever had. Simple, surely?

James: No matter who left in this window, we always needed two attackers and two central defenders as a minimum. Pino's arrival means we could get away with one more winger/number 10, but the delay on Guehi leaving and no movement on new centre-backs coming in is a huge worry.

Today is the second transfer deadline day of the summer following a brief closure in June because of the Club World Cup.

In a change to previous windows, clubs only have until 19:00 BST to complete deals, bringing the Premier League in line with the EFL, Italy's Serie A, France's Ligue 1 and Germany's Bundesliga. The window in Scotland and Spain remains open until 23:00 BST.

It has already been a hectic window - with a number of storylines still to be resolved - but whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.

Here are some of your comments:

Palace fans

Stuart: Again Palace show what they're capable of - composed and clinical in defence, quick on the break and took advantage of the best opportunities. Well done Palace!

Jerry: In truth, we didn't really get out of second gear, but we hardly needed to. It was a very controlled and comfortable performance. We certainly need the international break now.

Chris: Palace were magnificent tonight. We absorbed all the pressure and then hit them hard after an hour and got the same result as the last time we tore them to shreds. That's six games unbeaten to start the season, oh plus one piece of silverware! COYP.

Villa fans

Sarain: It was the worst Villa performance I have watched in years. From back to front, everything was a complete mess. There must be something going on behind the scenes, because the team just didn't look right. We need to sign a couple of players tomorrow to strengthen the squad. Preferably players that have pace and are direct, otherwise the rest of the season is going to be hard to watch.

Jill: That terrific night against Bayern and the gutsy display against PSG now seem like an awfully long time ago. Where have the energy and creativity gone? Goal difference already minus four. If whoever is here after the international break can't stop this slide, the fans may well be thinking Unai's race could be run.

Russell: Utter garbage. Emery made the changes most fans were asking for and the performance was worse than last week. Difficult to see where we go from here. Monday will be a busy day but it's difficult to see us bringing in what's needed to change things as drastically as is required. Thank goodness for the international break for a brief respite if nothing else.

Crystal Palace and Oliver Glasner will wish they played Aston Villa every week, after yet another win against the Villans on Sunday.

Their latest 3-0 victory came courtesy of Jean-Philippe Mateta, Marc Guehi and Ismaila Sarr, who were all on the scoresheet to help the Eagles record their first win of the Premier League season.

The result means Palace are now six games unbeaten against Villa, who they also beat by the same scoreline in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley last season, on their way to lifting their first-ever major silverware.

Palace beat Villa 5-0 in Glasner's first meeting with Unai Emery's side, after the Austrian took charge of the south London club in February 2024.

They also got the better of them 2-1 in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup last season.

In the Premier League last season, their visit to Villa Park ended in a 2-2 draw while Emery's side were well beaten 4-1 at Selhurst Park.

With two draws and a win, Palace are also one of three unbeaten sides in the Premier League, alongside Liverpool and Chelsea.

And with newly promoted Sunderland visiting Selhurst Park for the first time in eight years when the league returns from international break, Glasner's side will hope to stay in the winning ways come 13 September.

Oliver Glasner spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Crystal Palace's victory against Aston Villa: "Congratulations and big credit to the players. Busy start and also short of numbers, many players played every single game.

"We had to pay the bill today with two muscle injuries, but the players did so excellently."

On Adam Wharton and Ismaila Sarr's injuries: "Muscle injuries, so the players are not used to playing this rhythm. Maybe I need to rotate a bit more. The games are so competitive, and they played most of the minutes. I think these things can happen. We will have the scan tomorrow and get the results. We always want to avoid muscle injuries.

"But, again, it is what it is a great performance from everyone. I was delighted how we coped with the circumstances. We controlled the game and played forward.

On Marc Guehi: "I told the chairman that we have to keep Marc if we want to play a successful season.

"We have no chance to find the right replacement in one day. We all agreed that we just sell Marc if we have the right replacement in the building. We wanted a replacement by the 1st July. We have this agreement so it is clear from me. He is such a crucial player. He is one of our key players - he is our captain.

"Again, if we want to play a successful season we have to keep him."

Chris Richards also spoke to MOTD after the victory at Villa Park: "We had a really good first half and probably deserved a few more goals. Second half we started off a bit slow and they put us under pressure. Coming here to Villa Park there is always going to be a period where you are going to come under pressure, but we stayed resilient and also scoring two more goals on top of that was amazing.

"[Villa's] style is very effective against a lot of other teams but it just so happens that we're their kryptonite. Every time we come to play Villa we expect a high scoring game, at least on our end and that's what happened today. They are a really good team and have been very successful in the last few seasons and we saw that today. In the end we got the penalty and the game opened up and we got a great result.

"You see how close-knit this team is and you can see that on the field. we love each other and we all get along. There was a stigma in the past that we are content to stay in the middle of the table but we want to win trophies and win a lot of games. Hopefully by the end of the season we can win a lot more games."

Get Liverpool v Arsenal here

And Aston Villa v Crystal Palace is here

I'm really worried about my old club Aston Villa, their performance against Brentford last weekend was so insipid and so flat. They haven't got going at all.

We know the way Villa play. It's very much possession orientated and they'll play out from the back. Crystal Palace will mix their game up but I've just got a feeling that Villa will finally turn up in this one.

Plus, I'm not sure how Eze's departure will impact Crystal Palace. They coped in a one-off game with Nottingham Forest last week but long-term they're going to suffer from that loss of creativity.

I think Palace are still a strong team, even without Eze, but I'm going third time lucky with Villa hoping they'll actually turn in a performance. If they don't, then fans will start getting really concerned.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1
