Liverpool’s attempts to sign Marc Guehi rests in the hands of Crystal Palace, with a deal for the defender more complicated than it seems.
Crystal Palace have admitted they want to sell Guehi this summer to avoid losing him on a free as the 25-year-old is in the final year of his contract at the club.
Football Insider exclusively revealed that Guehi’s proposed move to Liverpool could be delayed due to a stand off between the club’s in regards to the transfer fee set out.
Palace want £40million for Guehi, but Liverpool have so far been reluctant to meet the Eagles’ asking price.
Guehi could join Liverpool.
Crystal Palace must sanction a sale for their captain their summer if they do not want to lose him on a free, and Guehi only wants to join Liverpool over any other interested club.
In a World Cup year, Guehi must decided if he wants to continue as a key component in the Palace back four or move to Anfield and have to fight for his place alongside Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Football Insider Verdict
The longer the Guehi saga continues, the more likelier it seems that the centre-back will leave the club on a free next summer.
Liverpool seem in no rush amid the quality options they already possess in that position, so Arne Slot is unlikely to go full out to sort a move quickly.
Palace would be unwilling to lose Guehi alongside the expected departure of team mate Eberechi Eze, with the pair crucial to the Eagles.

With a lack of transfer business conducted and with little time left in the window to source replacements, Palace may have to take a hit to ensure they can sufficiently compete in the Premier League and Europa Conference League this season.
Oliver Glasner though would welcome the funds to add players to his squad having only signed two new additions so far.
The Austrian has been left frustrated by Palace’s lack of transfer business, with the club seemingly not showing enough ambition amid their qualification into Europe for the first time in their history.
