Liverpool’s offer immediately turned down by Palace
London club want £5m add-ons plus sell-on clause
Crystal Palace are demanding that Liverpool increase their offer of £35m for Marc Guéhi to match their valuation of £40m for the England defender before sanctioning his departure.
Liverpool are understood to have submitted an official bid for Guéhi on Saturday that was immediately countered by Palace. They want an initial £35m plus another £5m in bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause to be included in the deal, with talks continuing.
Guéhi 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’s 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 Guéhi’s preferred destination but the Premier League champions had yet to formalise their approach until Saturday afternoon.
