- Christian Falk reports Marc Guehi has told Crystal Palace he intends to leave in the summer, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Tottenham among the clubs tracking him.
- Talks to extend Dayot Upamecano’s Bayern Munich contract are described as stuck over the signing-on fee, raising the prospect he could be available as a free agent next summer.
- Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, via EPL Index, lists Guehi and Upamecano among Liverpool’s centre-back candidates as recruitment planning ramps up for the next two windows.

- Manchester United are weighing a move of around £60m for Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, while chairman Steve Parish says there is no pressure to sell; Liverpool are also assessing midfield options including Eduardo Camavinga, per reports.
