'Excellent prospect' Ngumoha stars for Liverpool - but who is he?
The Eagles turned down several bids from Newcastle United for defender Guehi in January, the most recent being valued at £65m, as they hoped he would commit to a new contract in south London.
However, the England international has now arrived at the last year of his contract at Selhurst Park, showing little indication of extending his stay.
Guehi is reportedly amenable to staying with the team until 2026, when he can depart on a free transfer.
Yet, Parish mentioned that the club would prefer, albeit hesitantly, to sell Guehi this summer.
"We’d have to do that, of course," stated Parish.
"It’s an issue for us if players of that quality leave without a fee, unfortunately.
"Joachim [Andersen] left [for Fulham last summer] and we can't afford to lose both players.
"We saw another bid [for Guehi] come in January, but that was an entirely different context.
"We’ll just have to wait and see what unfolds. However, it requires either a new contract or some sort of resolution."
Liverpool remains interested in Guehi, but it is uncertain if Arne Slot's side will invest significantly in a player who might be available for free in 2026.
Crystal Palace is believed to be asking for approximately £40m for Guehi, although Liverpool intends to offer less than that amount.
The Reds have already disbursed about £270m this summer but have garnered around £170m from player sales.
Parish's remarks followed Palace's victory over Liverpool in the Community Shield, marking their second trophy under manager Oliver Glasner.
Glasner has voiced concerns regarding the club’s limited transfer activity this summer, with only two first-team additions made: Argentina goalkeeper Walter Benitez from PSV Eindhoven and Croatian defender Borna Sosa from Ajax.
"It’s challenging. We have an exceptional 15 or 16 players, and finding that level of quality is tough. The costs – at the end of the day, we’re Crystal Palace," expressed Parish.
"The funds at every football club are eventually limited. We will do our best and assist where possible. We all aspire to improve in football and will strive to do what we can."
