Liverpool Reported to Lead Race for Marc Guehi as Crystal Palace Weigh January Sale

Palace face a choice between taking a mid-season fee or risking a free exit as overseas clubs prepare pre-contract moves.

Overview

  • Guehi is into the final six months of his deal and is not expected to sign a new contract, raising the prospect of a free transfer in the summer.
  • Football Insider reports Palace view a January sale as their best chance to recoup a fee, although manager Oliver Glasner is reluctant to lose his captain mid-season.
  • A £35 million switch to Liverpool collapsed on deadline day in the summer after Palace failed to secure a replacement, according to multiple reports.
  • Yahoo Sports cites a Bayern Munich insider who says Liverpool are seen as frontrunners for Guehi, with suggestions an agreement was in place in the summer, though rival interest persists.
  • Foreign clubs can open pre-contract talks from January, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Manchester United linked, while Liverpool’s defensive issues could influence any January move.
