Overview
- The Sun reports Palace have submitted a £15 million offer plus bonuses for Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji, a claim that has not been independently confirmed.
- Football365 links the proposed move for Akanji to Palace’s planning for life without Marc Guehi, with Liverpool still seeking an experienced centre-back despite signing prospect Giovanni Leoni.
- Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano says a deal for Guehi to Liverpool is "absolutely on" and that the clubs remain in conversation.
- Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has stated Guehi would be sold unless he agrees a new contract.
- The Sun adds that Pep Guardiola left Akanji out of Manchester City’s squad for their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.
