Crystal Palace are hoping to keep hold of Marc Guehi, but will reportedly demand more than £65m if he asks to leave.
Guehi is currently in England’s Euro 2024 squad and impressed alongside John Stones as the Three Lions opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over Serbia on Sunday evening.
The Palace star has two years left on his contract, and has previously been linked with a move to Liverpool and a return to Chelsea.
Palace will demand more than £65m for Guehi
The Telegraph report that Palace are considering letting the 23-year-old enter the final year of his contract and are holding talks over a new deal, which they hope will keep Guehi at Selhurst Park for one season.
If Guehi has a good Euro he will undoubtedly attract more fans from the Premier League and possibly abroad.
The report adds that if Palace fail in their negotiations to convince Guehi to sign a new deal they will not entertain any offers below £65m for the England international having seen how much Everton value Jarrad Branthwaite.
The Toffees are believed to be worth around £70m for the 21-year-old so a similar valuation for Guehi seems fair considering he has more experience and is undoubtedly playing at a higher level.
Palace finished the season strongly under new manager Oliver Glasner as they finished in the top half, looking like they could be relegated when he took over from Roy Hodgson in the second half of the season.
The Eagles are facing interest from top clubs for many of their stars and Michael Olise is strongly linked with a move, while there are also teams looking for England player Eberechi Eze.
If Palace can keep most of their top players and make good signings they could have an outside chance of qualifying for European football next season.
