Overview

  • Liverpool opened discussions with Crystal Palace earlier this month over the England centre-back, who is understood to be open to the move.
  • A price gap remains, with Palace seeking roughly £40m and Liverpool targeting nearer £30–35m for a player in the final year of his contract.
  • Manager Oliver Glasner has indicated Guehi will not be allowed to depart before next week’s Europa Conference League second leg against Fredrikstad.
  • Chairman Steve Parish has signalled concern about losing Guehi for free if no new deal is signed, and reports suggest Palace are assessing Joel Ordoñez as cover.
  • The window closes on September 1, while a BBC interview saw Guehi reflect on Swansea as a career turning point and state an ambition to play until age 40.
