Crystal Palace consider Liverpool star as part of potential Marc Guehi swap transfer

According to The Sun, Palace are big admirers of Elliott and could look to sign the midfielder as part of a potential swap deal with Liverpool for star defender Guehi. The Reds are in negotiations with the Eagles over the England international as they look to add greater depth to their centre-back options, though there is a fear at Anfield that a transfer may not materialise. 

Elliott has made no secret of his desire for regular first-team football, having made only two starts in the Premier League last season. He has reportedly been lined up by RB Leipzig as a potential replacement for Xavi Simons, who has been linked with Chelsea, but Palace also view him as a possible successor to Eberechi Eze, who is being targeted by Tottenham.

Liverpool are thought to value Elliott at around £40 million (€46.4m/$54.3) and manager Arne Slot won't stand in his way if an acceptable offer comes in, but the Premier League giants are also happy to keep the 22-year-old if their monetary quotation isn't met.

For now, Elliott remains a Liverpool player and could be part of the defending champions' squad that faces Bournemouth on Friday night in the Premier League's curtain-raiser for the 2025-26 season.
