Marc Guehi is interviewed by BBC Sport(Image: BBC Sport)

Marc Guehi has made a subtle Liverpool admission as speculation about his future continues.

The Reds opened talks with Crystal Palace regarding a possible move for the England international earlier this month.

However, will refuse to pay over the odds for a player who is available for free next summer when his contract expires.

The 25-year-old has continued to play for the Eagles despite transfer talks being held, helping them draw 0-0 away at Chelsea on the opening day of the Premier League season before beating Fredrikstad 1-0 in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

He is likely to again feature for Palace at home to Nottingham Forest on Sunday

Meanwhile, Glasner previously admitted that the Eagles cannot afford to let the centre-back leave until after their second leg against Fredrikstad next week - though chairman Steve Parish reiterated Guehi will likely be sold if he does not sign a new contract.

With the transfer window open until September 1, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will be able to strike a deal with Palace for Guehi before the deadline passes.

The centre-back is understood to be keen on the move to Anfield, but the Londoners are believed to currently be asking far in excess of what the Reds are willing to offer for a player who has entered the last 12 months of his contract.

Amid the ongoing speculation, Guehi has revealed he has lots of friends in Liverpool as he opened up on his tight-knit family in an interview with BBC Sport.

“Football is a big part of my life.

“It means a lot.

“I am able to do something I love every single day, able to provide for my family, able to make friends.

All my friends are either in different countries or live in Manchester or Liverpool so it's hard to connect.”

While Guehi’s future remains uncertain, he also pointed to a previous transfer - his loan switch to Swansea City from Chelsea in January 2020 - as a turning point in his career.

“I'd say my time on loan at Swansea was a big turning point,” he admitted.

I wouldn't say woke me up, put me in my place.

“That definitely helped me understand the world of football a bit better.”

It has been a memorable year for Guehi especially, off the back of starring for England as they reached the Euro 2024 final last summer.

The centre-back captained Crystal Palace to their first ever major trophy when beating Man City in last year’s FA Cup final, before defeating suitors Liverpool in the Community Shield back at Wembley earlier this month.

And if he is to leave Selhurst Park before the transfer window closes, he’ll be eager to leave with Palace assured of their place in the Europa Conference League league phase.

The FA Cup final is perhaps an obvious highlight.
