Crystal Palace are demanding that Liverpool increase their offer of \u00a335m for Marc Gu\u00e9hi to match their valuation of \u00a340m for the England defender before sanctioning his departure.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are understood to have submitted an official bid for Gu\u00e9hi on Saturday that was immediately countered by Palace. They want an initial \u00a335m plus another \u00a35m in bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause to be included in the deal, with talks continuing.<\/p>\n
Gu\u00e9hi has less than 12 months remaining on his contract and has refused to sign an extension, with the Palace chair, Steve Parish, admitting after their victory over Arne Slot\u2019s side in the Community Shield that he may have to be sold this month to avoid losing the 25-year-old for free next summer. Liverpool are understood to be Gu\u00e9hi\u2019s preferred destination but the Premier League champions had yet to formalise their approach until Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Palace are believed to be ready to allow him to depart if their valuation is met, despite Oliver Glasner saying on Friday that it was too late to sign a replacement, given the transfer window closes on Monday.<\/p>\n
Palace, who rejected a bid worth up to \u00a370m for Gu\u00e9hi from Tottenham in January, have been desperate to add defensive reinforcements amid uncertainty over his future and agreed a deal worth up to \u20ac27m (\u00a323.4m) with Toulouse for Jaydee Canvot, with the France U20s defender expected to sign a five-year contract at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n
Canvot is seen as a player with huge potential, having made his breakthrough in Ligue 1 last season. But the FA Cup winners have been frustrated so far in their efforts to find a more experienced replacement and Liverpool are believed to have rejected an approach to sign Joe Gomez on loan as part of the Gu\u00e9hi deal.<\/p>\n
The England defender could still be available on a permanent deal, while Palace have been in talks with Manchester City over a move for Manuel Akanji but the Switzerland defender has interest from Milan so will likely move elsewhere. They have also made inquiries about taking former Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu on loan from Monaco.<\/p>\n
Glasner made it clear on Friday that he wants Gu\u00e9hi to stay. \u201cFrom my side, he has to [still be a Crystal Palace player] because it\u2019s not possible at the moment to find a Marc Gu\u00e9hi replacement who can play straight in the Premier League, being a starter, being consistent,\u201d said the Palace manager. \u201cWhen we see our foundation of success in the last few months, it\u2019s our defence \u2026 Marc is a crucial part. Getting the right replacement in now is almost impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n
