Liverpool lodge improved £35m bid for Guehi

Marc Guehi’s offer for 35 million dollars, which includes a 10% sell-on clause, has been improved by Liverpool.

Liverpool made a straight £35 million offer to Palace for Guehi earlier this month after holding club-to-club discussions.

Recent talks have rekindled, and it is thought that Liverpool have indicated they are prepared to include a 10% sell-on clause.

Palace responded by claiming they want a £35 million deal with additional bonuses of up to £5 million. In an effort to reach a deal before Monday’s transfer deadline, talks between the clubs are ongoing.

The Selhurst Park club made an informal suggestion to add Liverpool defender Joe Gomez as a sweetener in the Guehi deal during the most recent discussions.

However, it became clear that Palace would reject any formal offers to loan Gomez, which has left the two clubs negotiating for cash.

Guehi, the club’s captain, has stated that his contract at Selhurst Park will not expire when his deal expires next summer.

Guehi’s contract expires the following summer, but Palace manager Oliver Glasner has publicly stated his desire to keep him. However, the Eagles are reluctant to let him leave on a free transfer. A £65 million deal to sell Guehi to Newcastle was rejected last year.

Before the transfer window closes, Palace are attempting to sign two central defenders, which could allow Guehi to move to Liverpool.

The 19-year-old Jaydee Canvot, 19, is in advanced talks with them, and they are interested in moving the highly-regarded central defender.

They have approached Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji, but the Swiss international is said to have reservations about making the switch. They are also looking for an experienced centre-half.

Ousmane Diomande has been Palace’s first-choice target, but they haven’t been able to get the Ivory Coast international.

Another defender Palace are reportedly interested in is Roma’s Evan Ndicka.

When the window closes, Glasner said Guehi “has to” be a Palace player.

A replacement for Marc Guehi who can start in the Premier League is not a possibility, he added.
