Liverpool will refuse Crystal Palace's proposal to take Joe Gomez on loan as a makeweight in a deal for Marc Guehi. Palace explored a loan-plus-fee approach and would consider about £30m with Gomez joining on loan, but Liverpool have no intention of loaning Gomez this month. Guehi has declined to sign a new contract and Palace are unwilling to lose him for free next summer after rejecting a £65m offer from Newcastle last year. Palace seek two central defenders to enable Guehi's departure and are pursuing Jaydee Canvot, Manuel Akanji, Ousmane Diomande and Evan Ndicka to strengthen the back line.
Liverpool would reject any formal offer from Crystal Palace to take Joe Gomez on loan as a sweetener in the Merseysiders' move for Eagles captain Marc Guehi. Palace have explored the prospect of bringing in Gomez on loan to help smooth Liverpool's efforts to land Guehi. However, the Premier League champions currently have no intention of letting Gomez leave for Selhurst Park on a temporary basis.
Palace captain Guehi has made clear he does not intend to sign a new contract at Selhurst Park. While Palace manager Oliver Glasner has publicly spoken of his desire to keep Guehi, the Eagles are reluctant to let the 25-year-old leave on a free transfer when his contract expires next summer. They rejected a 65m deal to sell Guehi to Newcastle last year. They are trying to sign two central defenders before the transfer window closes, which could unlock Guehi's move to Liverpool.
