The chairman of Crystal Palace, Steve Parish, has admitted that the club will probably be forced this month of captain Marc Guehi, with champions LiverpoolCirkeling.
Guehi lifted silverware on Wembley for the second time this year on Sunday after his palace side had overthrown the men of Arne Slot in the Community Shield.
But he is confronted with an uncertain future with his contract that ends at the end of this season and co-owner Parish thinks that it could be the right time to sell him as Liverpool, or another club, a considerable fee.
Asked if he would sell Guehi if the price is good, Parish said: 'Yes. Of course, for players of that caliber to leave for free, it is a problem for a football club. Unfortunately there is no doubt about it.
'Joachim (Andersen) went and we could not afford to lose them both. We still had an offer in January, but that was also a difficult situation. We will just have to see what happens. It needs a new contract or a kind of conclusion.
'Eventually people trade players, that's what football clubs do. Of course, if you don't care tomorrow and sell everything, then we are a fantastic team. If we still had four players, I don't know what we could achieve. Unfortunately it is not always that simple.
“We'll have to see. We will do what we can. We will not stop working. But as far as people are here or are not, it depends on it.
'If it is the right decision for the football club and for them there will be changes. But we have to make smart. '
Liverpool is likely to increase their pursuit of Guehi in the coming weeks and will have further conversations in the coming days. Palace wants around £ 45 million, which the Reds consider too high for a player who has no contract from the contract in 11 months. There is a lot that a middle ground can be found.
As Daily Mail Sport reported fourteen days ago, they also retain interest in Parma's 18-year-old defender Giovanni Leoni. There is a desire to sign a young defender to eventually board Virgil van Dijk's shoes.
On Monday, D-Day marks Palace while discovering the decision of their appeal on relegation of the Europa League, who protested fans with a banner 'Uefa Mafia', plus hymns about the administrative body and Evangelos Marinakis, owner of Nottingham Forest.
Parish did not talk much about the profession, perhaps not the outcome wanted Jinx, but said: 'It will be good to place us behind us. I am determined to get the right result. If we don't, we will have to look at the steps afterwards. It's up to the judges, we trust them. '
The chairman added Palace's victory at Wembley: 'I thought we played better than in the FA Cup final. This group has received such a determination and conviction to come back from a goal down and dominate the game.
'In all the time I have been to the club, we have had a number of really good guys and some special teams, but these are really something else.
'Oliver (Glasner) is the conductor of the orchestra and he does such a great job. He is so positive. He said to me earlier: I watched them again and we will score two goals. I don't know if we can keep them out because they are world class, but we will score two goals.
“I admire Oliver so much. He just wants to win trophies.
'Don't think I want to do something else than support them (financially) and do everything I can do. You have to recycle your team on some points. We will do everything we can in the coming weeks to give us the best chance we can.
“It's really difficult. We will do everything we can in the coming weeks to give ourselves the best chance. I am aware that we are in four games. But in the end the money we have is not infinite. '
