Crucial 'here we go' given as Liverpool 'leave £35m offer on table' for eighth signing

Liverpool have left their bid of £35m on the table in the hope that Crystal Palace will allow Marc Guehi to undergo a medical before 7pm, according to reports.

The Reds are still hoping to get deals over the line for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who is on Merseyside to complete a deal, and Palace centre-back Guehi.

Guehi started and scored as Crystal Palace beat Aston Villa 3-0 at Villa Park on Sunday with Oliver Glasner doubting the England international would be allowed to leave for Liverpool before the deadline.

After the Villa clash, the Crystal Palace head coach revealed that he’d asked chairman Steve Parish if they can keep Guehi with the Eagles having “no chance to find the right replacement in one day”.

Glasner told reporters: “I told the chairman we have to keep Marc if we want to play a successful season. We have no chance to find the right replacement in one day. We all agreed that we just sell Marc if we have the right replacement in the building.

“We wanted a replacement by 1 July. It is 31 August and we have no replacement. We have this agreement so it is clear from me. He is such a crucial player. He is one of our key players – he is our captain.”

Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs revealed this morning that a deal for Guehi was ‘looking unlikely’ but U-turned on that position a few hours later by claiming that Liverpool are ‘now confident of finalising a deal’ and it’s ‘expected to happen’.

Adding to that, Jacobs has since revealed on X: ‘Liverpool have left their £35m offer on the table from the weekend. Club now waiting for Steve Parish to inform them if Guehi can undergo a medical in London.’

And the Reds have been given a good chance with former Daily Express journalist Charlie Parker-Turner revealing earlier in the day that Brighton centre-back Igor Julio is on his way to Crystal Palace on a season-long loan.
