"Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in a potential transfer move for Aston Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa as a replacement for Marc Guehi. Liverpool remain keen on signing Guehi after coming close to agreeing a deal for him in the summer, and even if he doesn't move to Anfield, he is expected to become a free agent at the end of the season."
"Konsa has also attracted interest from Liverpool themselves, but one imagines they'll prioritise Guehi again unless they're beaten to his signature. Villa surely won't want to let Konsa go, but they have recently had to make sales due to financial issues. The Premier League's Profit and Sustainability laws have hit Villa particularly hard, which has meant the club cashing in on Douglas Luiz last summer and then Jhon Duran in January, followed up by Jacob Ramsey ahead of this season."
"That could mean Palace have a serious chance of snapping up Konsa if the money is right. This will be an interesting saga to follow, with Konsa surely good enough to earn a big move, and with Selhurst Park looking like a very tempting destination right now. Glasner won the FA Cup and Community Shield with Palace in recent months, as well as taking them on a club-record unbeaten run which only recently came to an end."
Crystal Palace are interested in signing Aston Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa to replace Marc Guehi, who is unlikely to sign a new Palace contract and could leave on a free transfer. Liverpool remain interested in Guehi and may prioritize him, while also having shown interest in Konsa. Villa face financial constraints due to Profit and Sustainability rules, prompting recent sales of Douglas Luiz, Jhon Duran and Jacob Ramsey, which may force them to consider selling Konsa if an acceptable offer arrives. Konsa has impressed at Villa Park and would fit Oliver Glasner's squad, while Palace's recent cup successes make Selhurst Park an appealing destination.
