Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi has subtly hinted at a potential move to Liverpool amidst ongoing transfer speculation.

Earlier this month, the Reds initiated discussions with Crystal Palace about a possible transfer for the England international.

However, they are unwilling to pay an exorbitant fee for a player who will be available on a free transfer next summer when his contract ends.

Despite being in the midst of transfer negotiations, the 25-year-old has remained committed to his current club, helping them secure a 0-0 draw against Chelsea in their Premier League opener and a 1-0 victory over Fredrikstad in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

He is expected to play again for Palace in their home match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Crystal Palace manager Glasner has previously stated that the club cannot afford to lose the defender until after their second leg match against Fredrikstad next week.

However, chairman Steve Parish has reiterated that Guehi will likely be sold if he does not agree to a new contract.

With the transfer window remaining open until 1 September, it is yet to be seen whether Liverpool can negotiate a successful deal for Guehi before the deadline.

The defender is reportedly eager to make the move to Anfield, but it is believed that Palace's asking price far exceeds what Liverpool are willing to offer for a player in the final year of his contract.

Amidst the swirling rumours, Guehi disclosed in a BBC Sport interview that he has many friends in Liverpool and spoke warmly about his close-knit family.

"Football is a big part of my life.

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

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

It's been an unforgettable year for Guehi, particularly after his standout performance for England as they reached the Euro 2024 final last summer.

The centre-back led Crystal Palace to their first ever major trophy by defeating Man City in last year's FA Cup final, before overcoming Liverpool in the Community Shield at Wembley earlier this month.

And if he is to depart Selhurst Park before the transfer window shuts, he'll be keen to ensure Palace secure their spot in the Europa Conference League phase.

The FA Cup final might seem like an obvious highlight.
