As The Pitch Prospect has learned, Crystal Palace are waiting for offers for English newcomer Marc Guehi.
Guehi, who put in a commanding performance in England’s opening victory over Serbia at Euro 2024, is attracting interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.

The centre-back has two years left on his contract, meaning Palace will be forced to consider a cash-in if they cannot agree terms of an extension.
Palace owner Steve Parish, who was among the spectators in Gelsenkirchen who watched Guehi defeat Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, estimates the 23-year-old’s value at £70 million.
The former Chelsea Academy product has played 9 Premier League games for Palace.
Chelsea consolidates Jackson’s position
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is a target for Atletico Madrid.
Jackson, 22, is considered one of the players upset about the departure of coach Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the season.
However, Chelsea are prepared to reject all offers for the Senegalese international.

After a slow start to his career at Stamford Bridge, Jackson finished his first Premier League season with a respectable 14 goals in 34 games.
Big dilemma for Pascal
Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross is facing a career dilemma.
Gross, who turned 33 last week, is in the final year of his contract at the Amex Stadium and the Seagulls are keen to tie him down to a new deal.
But Gross is attracting a lot of interest from clubs in his home country, including Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund.
The stalwart Gross was Brighton’s first signing after winning promotion from the Championship for a bargain £3million from Ingolstadt in 2017, and is the club’s all-time top Premier League goalscorer.

Should Archer invade?
Southampton are among the clubs interested in signing Aston Villa striker Cameron Archer.
Archer returns to Villa after a year at Sheffield United, having entered into a buy-back obligation in a transfer worth £18 million in the wake of the Blades’ relegation last summer.
Manager Unai Emery is ready to sanction Archer’s departure and the Saints have their eye on the former England Under-21 international to provide more firepower following their return to the top flight.
