"According to the BBC, Palace are considering the idea of requesting Gomez as part of the package. Liverpool are determined to strengthen their defensive options before the window closes and see Guehi as a top target. The Reds have already lodged a 35 million bid, as per some reports. Palace have responded by asking for an improved package that includes 5m in add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause."
"Palace's interest in Gomez comes at a time when the defender has struggled for regular minutes at Anfield. The 28-year-old has played just 18 minutes this season, coming on in Liverpool's 4-2 opening day win over Bournemouth, but remaining unused against Newcastle United. Liverpool are reluctant to use Gomez as a makeweight. Arne Slot still values his experience and leadership, and would prefer to structure a straight cash deal for Guehi."
Crystal Palace would consider allowing Marc Guehi to join Liverpool if Joe Gomez moves to Palace on a season-long loan. Liverpool have targeted Guehi and have lodged a bid around £35 million, while Palace have asked for an improved package including £5m in add-ons and a 10% sell-on clause. Guehi, 25, has one year left on his contract, creating the risk of a free departure in 2026. Guehi has agreed personal terms with Liverpool. Gomez, 28, has played just 18 minutes this season, and Liverpool prefer a straight cash deal as Arne Slot values Gomez's experience and leadership. Palace have explored Manuel Akanji as a potential replacement but face uncertainty.
