Marc Guehi continues to be heavily linked with a move to Liverpool as Arne Slot hopes to bolster his backline before the summer transfer window slams shut.

The Reds only have a week or so to wrap up a deal for the Crystal Palace defender, who's recently entered the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park.

Should the Premier League champions fail to agree a deal with Steve Parish before 7pm on September 1, they can always pick up from where they left off in the new year.



Crystal Palace must decide whether they'd rather risk losing Guehi for free or cut their losses and cash in.

The Englishman will want guarantees over his playing time, with Thomas Tuchel set to pick his squad for this summer's World Cup.

The Reds opened talks with Crystal Palace over a potential deal for the centre-back after the Community Shield earlier this month.

Parish made it clear that he would rather sell Guehi than lose him for free when his contract expires in June 2026.

The Daily Star reckons that Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona are also keen on Guehi, who's been priced at £35m.

Speaking to BBC Sport ahead of Crystal Palace's clash against Nottingham Forest at the weekend, Oliver Glasner admitted that he's worried the club won't be able to replace the players that have left.

"I am worried about Crystal Palace if we are losing players and we don’t get the right ones in," said the Eagles boss.

It's Crystal Palace's future and we need to add numbers."
