Guehi Set to See Out Season at Palace as Liverpool Lead Race and Madrid Cool Interest
Barcelona's finances weaken their bid, leaving a summer free transfer likely with Liverpool well positioned.
Overview
- A January transfer is described as unlikely, with Crystal Palace expected to keep their captain until his contract expires at season’s end.
- Head coach Oliver Glasner previously said Guehi has told the club he will not sign a new deal and will leave next year.
- From January 1, he can sign a pre-contract with clubs outside England, giving continental teams a window to move early.
- Reporting indicates Real Madrid are not expected to pursue the defender, reducing one major competitor in the race.
- Barcelona are considered unlikely to match terms due to salary-limit uncertainty, while Liverpool—who came close to a deal last summer—remain among the frontrunners alongside Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Manchester City.
