However, Palace's attempts to replace the centre-back fell through when Brighton & Hove Albion's Igor Julio chose a loan to West Ham United over a switch to Selhurst Park.That meant Guehi's proposed move to Merseyside was cancelled as a result and Liverpool are now expected to return next summer when he will be available on a free transfer.READ MORE: Dominik Szoboszlai makes honest Liverpool admission ahead of Man City - 'That's what we've missed'READ MORE: Virgil van Dijk agents chief explains what was 'remarkable' about Florian Wirtz £116m Liverpool transferBut the defending Premier League champions are also being tipped as an ideal destination for another of Palace's England internationals.Adam Wharton, who has today (Friday, November 7) been called up to Thomas Tuchel's latest Three Lions squad alongside club colleagues Guehi and Dean Henderson, continues to generate rave reviews for Palace following his bargain £18m transfer from Blackburn Rovers in January 2024.His performances have caught the eye of many of England's and Europe's top clubs and one ex-Palace star believes the 21-year-old deep-lying playmaker would fit right in at Anfield.Former Wales midfielder Joe Ledley, who played for the Eagles between 2013 and 2017, said: "When you're doing so well, there's always going to be clubs floating around, trying to buy your big stars. I think he's had a fantastic start to the season and the end of last season, so hopefully Palace will hand out a few new contracts soon.“Liverpool would be a good move for him, in that midfield area with [Alexis] Mac Allister.

There’s pros and cons - I’m not sure.“Every Palace fan would probably want Guehi there until the end of season, and then bite the bullet and lose him for free.“But with the business side of it, the chairman would probably want a few million - so there's a 50-50 debate on that. I’d like to see Guehi stay until the end of the season and see how far Palace can go.”Last month Eagles chairman Steve Parish claimed the club's maiden season in Europe was the reason for denying his captain's dream move to Liverpool.Reports had emerged on deadline day that head coach Oliver Glasner, who was desperate to keep Guehi, had threatened to leave had the player not remained in south London.And Ledley, speaking ahead of ahead of the 2025 Scottish Masters tournament at Aberdeen's P&J Live on November 14, where he will represent former club Celtic, said: “Guehi will probably be leaving in January, if not then the end of the season.

He’s captain as well and you don't want to lose your best players.“The player probably wasn’t happy, because a club like Liverpool would be fantastic to play for. But he's continued and he's been a fantastic defender.“Will they lose him?
