Liverpool's move for Marc Guehi could be at risk after Crystal Palace suffered a late setback on deadline day, according to reports.

They are set to pay around £35million for the player's signature, with Crystal Palace inserting a 10 per cent sell-on clause into the deal.

In response, the south Londoners were reportedly set to raid rivals Brighton and Hove Albion for the signature of Igor Julio.



It leaves Crystal Palace with just over two hours to find a replacement for the England international.



Only time will tell if the setback impacts Guehi's proposed Anfield switch, which is seemingly all but done.

Liverpool are said to be 'waiting for the outcome' and will be desperately hoping that Crystal Palace do not block the move at the eleventh hour.

Oliver Glasner has already hinted that Guehi could stay at the club if a suitable replacement is not found ahead of tonight's deadline.

Speaking after Sunday's victory over Aston Villa, the Crystal Palace boss 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.

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."
