Crystal Palace “would rather take £50million upwards front” for Marc Guehi from Liverpool than a swap provision involving Ben Doak, according to reports.
The Reds are gazing to simplify their options in central protection ahead of next off period after Jarell Quansah authorized upwards through Bayer Leverkusen in a provision well worth approximately £35m.
Liverpool honchos Arne Slot is gazing to simplify the deepness at centre-earlier in shuck Virgil van Dijk or Ibrahima Konate lug out usage snappy or suspended throughout the period.
Guehi has inoculation to the top of their targets this summertime season through send wizard Fabrizio Romano reporting last week that Liverpool “will distinctly indicator a defender” through conversations lingering over a provision for the Crystal Palace defender.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Liverpool will distinctly indicator a defender this summertime season, and one of the players they’re severely filching into consideration sticks approximately Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace. For Marc Guehi the conversations linger, and this week there will distinctly be a lot more, so lug out usage prepared for a lot more contacts between Liverpool, the camp of the player and Crystal Palace.
“The conversations are ongoing. The player is actually remembered by Liverpool. It’s correspondingly true that Marc Guehi wants a ensure of messing around time, yet Liverpool are speaking to the player’s camp. They’re posing their musing, their hunch, their methodologies, so permit’s go to what seizes venue there. For sure, Marc Guehi sticks approximately a steadfast target for Liverpool.
“Also, I can tell you that Marc Guehi is not attending indicator a contemporary arrangement at Crystal Palace. It’s a hefty avenue for Palace to sell the player this summertime season and not to lose him on a extricate in 2026; and for Liverpool there’s a likelihood to assail the affliction and lug out usage the player for a wonderful send expenditure. Marc Guehi sticks approximately one of the fulcra monikers – not the lone one – on the list at Liverpool.”
Former Manchester United and Tottenham scout Mick Brown – who is still well-hooked in the Premier League – prompts that Crystal Palace would rather take £50m for Guehi than £30m and Ben Doak, through a swap provision rumoured.
Brown told Football Insider: “I’m sure a swap is something Liverpool would advice to tote out. They twinge to indicator Guehi and Palace are intrigued in Doak, so on the face of it, it might lug out sense for the two players to button clubs.
“It won’t be as easy as that, though, granted that the top attribute isn’t there for Palace. Liverpool twinge £30million if they’re attending sell Doak, so they could claim to Palace ‘we’ll enact on you £30million plus Doak’ and top attribute that as a £60million provision.

“But from a Palace time of sight, if they wear’t assume he’s well worth £30million, the provision doesn’t lug out sense. Palace wear’t twinge to come out of that provision on the throwing away side.
“They would rather take £50million upwards front granted that then it’s coinage coinages in the financial school. They can go out and indicator somebody advice Doak or an additional showering target through that coinage coinages.
