Marc Guehi has been warned a transfer to Liverpool this summer could scupper his chances of starting for England at the 2026 World Cup.
The Crystal Palace captain wants to seal a move to Anfield before the September 1 deadline with his contract at Selhurst Park into its final year.
Palace can ill-afford to lose Guehi for nothing and are in talks with Liverpool over a potential sale but the clubs are still some way apart over their valuation of the 25-year-old.
After lifting the FA Cup with Palace, a switch to Liverpool would thrust the England international into a Premier League title bid before heading into next summer's World Cup in USA.
And while there is some uncertainty over Konate's future at Liverpool, former England defender Michael Dawson has questioned whether Guehi is good enough to force his way into Arne Slot's starting XI.
“Do I think he [Guehi] is better than Konate at this moment in time.
If he plays for Crystal Palace this year, he plays for England next summer in the World Cup.
“If he doesn’t and plays for Liverpool, that’s the question mark, will he play enough games to be in that starting team [for England]."
