Overview

• Liverpool have lodged a £35 million, add-on-free offer for Guehi that Crystal Palace are considering after talks throughout the week, according to multiple reports including The Athletic and Sky Sports.
• Guehi is in the final year of his contract and has not agreed an extension, leaving Palace at risk of losing the England international on a free next summer.
• Manager Oliver Glasner said Guehi "has to" stay, arguing that finding a like-for-like replacement before Monday’s deadline is "almost impossible."
• Palace are working on defensive reinforcements, with a deal for Toulouse’s 19-year-old Jaydee Canvot progressing at around £22–23 million and interest noted in Manuel Akanji, Ousmane Diomande and Mohammed Salisu.
• Joe Gomez featured in discussions as a potential solution for Palace, but Liverpool will not allow a loan and are reluctant to sell, with any Gomez move understood to be separate from a Guehi deal.
