The report states that Palace boss Oliver Glasner is open to the idea of selling his star pair as he wants to use the funds to bring in six new players, aiming to make them even more physically dominant. Guehi has one year left on his deal, so this potentially represents the last chance for the club to sell him for a fee.

While Palace have reached the FA Cup final, it is said that Glasner has been disappointed by his side's inconsistency and wants them to work harder off the ball. Sunderland's Jobe Bellingham is expected to be a key summer target.
