Marc Guehi could be on the move to Liverpool before the window closes, with Crystal Palace now prepared to cash in rather than risk losing their captain on a free next summer.
That’s according to well-connected ex-Man United scout Mick Brown, who told Football Insider that Palace are willing to listen to offers around £40 million, with the belief that the money would be immediately reinvested in the squad.
Liverpool are expected to return with a new bid soon, and Guehi is said to be keen on the Anfield switch, willing to reject other clubs in favour of joining the Premier League runners-up.
Why Palace May Cash In Now — Not Later
While Oliver Glasner is reportedly eager to keep his captain, Palace have no plans to lose Guehi for free when his contract expires next summer.
“If offers come in before the end of the window, they’re going to listen to them,” said Mick Brown. “It has to work for Palace, but if they get £40m, that money goes straight back into the squad.” — Football Insider
The South London club rejected offers up to £70 million from Newcastle and Tottenham in the past year but may now accept a lower figure to fund late-window spending.
Guehi Wants Liverpool — Even If He Stays Another Year
Brown previously told Football Insider that Guehi’s preferred destination is Liverpool, and he’d be prepared to stay at Palace for one more season if it guarantees the move next year.
However, if Liverpool meet Palace’s valuation now, the deal could happen before Deadline Day. Guehi is reportedly focused solely on a move to Anfield, and has no interest in alternative offers.

Analyst Verdict
Guehi’s exit would be a major blow for Palace on the pitch — but a pragmatic move off it. With just one year left on his deal, a £40m fee is respectable business and would allow Glasner to act in the market before time runs out.
Liverpool’s interest makes sense: Guehi offers elite ball progression, aerial strength, and has plenty of Premier League experience. The Reds see him as ideal competition and possibly a long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk.
If Palace have replacements lined up, the timing now feels right to part ways — especially with European commitments ahead.
