Overview

• Multiple outlets report Liverpool have lodged a package worth around £40m for the Palace captain, with further talks ongoing and suggestions the Eagles could accept a suitable offer after securing European progression.
• Manager Oliver Glasner said Guehi "has to" stay because finding a like-for-like starter this late is "almost impossible," underscoring internal resistance to a sale without reinforcements.
• Palace are reported to have agreed a fee of about £23m with Toulouse for 19-year-old Jaydee Canvot as a long-term option and are pursuing an additional experienced centre-back.
• David Ornstein said it is a "critical 24 hours" for the situation, indicating Palace’s call likely hinges on what defensive signings they can complete before the deadline.
• Guehi is in the final year of his contract and, per Fabrizio Romano, is not renewing and prefers Liverpool, while the Reds’ push is also linked in reports to uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté’s future and form.
