MARC GUEHI is willing to wait patiently for a transfer to Liverpool while Crystal Palace looks forward to potential offers.

The centre-back, Guehi, remained neutral about leaving during the summer, despite interest from Newcastle. He will ultimately decide when to leave the Eagles’ nest and where to go next.

The England international is aiming for a Champions League club — whether that chance arises next month or in summer.

Sources close to Guehi, 24, reveal that Liverpool is his top choice, with the Reds showing interest in a deal at a reasonable price.

Palace expects to demand a substantial fee at this time, although this figure is likely to diminish as his contract continues to run down.

The Eagles might consider including a player in the trade.

They have been tracking winger Ben Doak during his loan at Middlesbrough.

The 19-year-old talent is eager for a chance to return to the Kop, though he might explore other Premier League options if that opportunity is unavailable.

Boro may pursue him should they achieve promotion, but Palace is already ready to acquire the promising young Anfield prospect.

Palace will actively seek Doak if they fail to land French target Rayan Cherki, 21, from Lyon, who is their preferred signing for next month.

However, Paris Saint-Germain is also keen on Cherki and hopes to put together a remarkable signing duo with Kylian Mbappe being their other prime target.

Palace previously rejected THREE offers from Newcastle for Guehi over the summer.

After the conclusion of the transfer window, manager Oliver Glasner remarked: I was never in doubt [that Guehi would stay].

“Hats off to our owners for not giving in.”

“Thanks to Marc, he was always open with me.

“All the speculation had no bearing on his performances.

“He communicated to me that he wasn’t rushing to leave Crystal Palace, and that is always the most important factor for me.”

Palace will be back in action on Sunday afternoon, hosting bottom-placed Southampton at Selhurst Park.
