Palace stand firm on defender’s price as Leipzig wait on Xavi Simons before moving for Harvey Elliott

Liverpool’s transfer dealings have hit a standstill, with Marc Guehi and Harvey Elliott emerging as central figures in a summer of hesitation.

Talks with Crystal Palace over Guehi remain unresolved, as the Eagles stand firm on their valuation.



The 24-year-old centre-back is admired at Anfield for his composure and top-flight pedigree, but Liverpool are reluctant to overpay.

Simons has been strongly linked with Chelsea, but informal talks are yet to yield an agreement, leaving Leipzig unable to commit funds for Elliott.

Liverpool’s stance is equally firm.

Leipzig, who have reportedly set a similar price tag on Simons, would need to stretch financially to make the move happen.

For now, Liverpool are caught between ambition and patience.

Guehi remains out of reach unless Palace soften their demands, while Elliott’s exit depends on a domino effect in Germany and England.

With the window edging towards its final weeks, decisive action is needed — or the Reds risk letting another summer of opportunity drift into stalemate.
