Crystal Palace are preparing for life without Marc Guehi by scouring the transfer market for replacements for their captain.

Guehi has entered the final year of his Palace contract and the club know they have to cash in now or risk losing him for nothing in a year’s time.

Liverpool entered talks to sign the England international on August 12 and remain keen on the 26-year-old centre-back.



Guehi is understood to be open to joining the defending Premier League champions, who want to add depth beyond Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

Talks fizzled out earlier this month over valuation, with Palace quoting £45million for their star defender, while Liverpool won’t go above £35m.

But they are expected to gather pace once again after Palace’s Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad on Thursday night.

Palace manager Oliver Glasner said the club had to keep Guehi until at least that match, due to their lack of options, but knows chairman Steve Parish is open to selling.

The 30-year-old Switzerland international has two years left on his City contract and Palace were reportedly ready to offer £15m for his services.

Eberechi Eze has joined Arsenal for £67.5m and Palace are still yet to find a replacement for the creative midfielder.
