Crystal Palace have raised their price to sign England Euro 2024 star Marc Guehi, amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
Guehi was arguably England’s best and most consistent player throughout the European Championships, playing all but one game as the Three Lions fell short at the final hurdle.
His impact caught many by surprise given his lack of international experience, having only become a starting player after Harry Maguire was forced to miss the tournament through injury.

Palace fans have long known about the centre-back’s quality having quietly impressed at Selhurst Park over the past three seasons, but it’s no secret anymore with a host of clubs interested in his signature.
Liverpool, United, Arsenal and Newcastle have been linked, as have Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, with Guehi reportedly turning down a new contract offer from the Eagles.
But signing the 23-year-old will be far from easy, with The Times reporting that Palace have upped his valuation from £50million to over £70m.
This not only reflects his Euros heroics but is also because Chelsea are set bank 20 per cent of any profit made from his sale after they sold him to the South London club in 2021 for £18m
