Overview

  • Guehi has one year left on his Crystal Palace contract and has refused to sign an extension, making him a free agent in summer 2026.
  • Palace have lowered their asking price to approximately £40m, with some reports suggesting a €50m minimum, down from a £65m valuation last year.
  • Liverpool are the frontrunner for Guehi’s signature but have signalled they will not engage in protracted negotiations given the defender’s impending free-agency.
  • Tottenham, Newcastle and Chelsea have all maintained interest in securing Guehi, though none have matched Palace’s current price demands.
  • With the transfer window entering its final stages, Palace face mounting pressure to secure a fee now rather than risk losing their captain on a free transfer.
