Crystal Palace is demanding a 40m fee for Marc Guehi and has countered Liverpool's official bid. Palace seeks 35m upfront with 5m in bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause. Guehi has under 12 months left on his contract and has refused an extension, creating pressure to sell this month to avoid losing him for free next summer.
