Crystal Palace’s position is unambiguous: Marc Guehi won’t leave for anything less than a king’s ransom, notwithstanding the commotion surrounding the transfer window. Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly interested in the 23-year-old center defender, but the South London club has put a price tag of more than £50 million. The story from The Telegraph highlights Guehi and suggests that Palace is ready for a big unload that would smash the club’s record sale—which is now held by Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s 2019 transfer.
