ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?
The Eagles are considering asking Liverpool to allow Gomez, 28, to join them temporarily should they receive an offer in the region of £30 million from the Reds for Guehi, according to the BBC. Club captain Guehi, 25, has just one year remaining on his current contract and Palace are reluctant to let him leave on a free transfer next summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
However the report also states that Liverpool would likely reject any formal approach from Palace to take Gomez on loan, with the champions unwilling to lose the defender this summer. Palace have also made a move for Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji but the Switzerland international is believed to be lukewarm about switching to Selhurst Park.
