Overview

• Palace chairman Steve Parish rejected Liverpool’s opening £40 million bid for Marc Guehi and Newcastle have also refused to meet the £50 million asking price.
• With just one year remaining on his contract and no extension agreed, Guehi can negotiate a pre-contract with foreign clubs in six months if Palace do not sell him this window.
• Liverpool’s sale of central defender Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen has left them short in central defence, making Guehi their leading target.
• Newcastle United turned down Liverpool’s £110 million offer for striker Alexander Isak and are insisting on their £150 million valuation.
• Alexander Isak skipped Newcastle’s pre-season tour and is training independently at Real Sociedad as he weighs up his future before the transfer deadline.
