Ornstein earlier reported that the move to Anfield was uncertain, with negotiations ongoing between the centre-back and manager Oliver Glasner.
We exclusively reported Liverpool’s interest in Guehi in March.
We then exclusively broke the news earlier this summer that Liverpool had reached an agreement on personal terms with Marc Guehi.
Crystal Palace reached an agreement in principle to sign Jaydee Canvot from Toulouse, though it has yet to be finalised ahead of transfer deadline day, while a move for Igor Julio has fallen through.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner reiterated that Guehi would not be allowed to leave without a suitable replacement.
Speaking after Sunday’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa, Glasner said: “We had a meeting in March and we had an agreement that we’re just selling Marc if we have the right replacement in.
“And we wanted to have this replacement at the beginning of the season, the pre-season, to be independent from this situation.
“This was July 9, today is August 31, there is no replacement in the building.
So it is clear that one part of the agreement is not fulfilled, that means we can’t sell Marc.
“And it’s not for Oliver Glasner.
It’s not a gift or a wish for Oliver Glasner?
It’s necessary for playing a successful season.
“We had a great start, we are the first time European football and I think our fans deserve to have the best players available.
“And know, if we don’t sell Marc then Marc will accept it
Because he loves Crystal Palace, he loves the team and we feel the appreciation he has and he also feels the same from his side.”
