Overview

• Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner said Marc Guehi has rejected a new deal and informed the club he will depart after this season.
• Guehi’s contract runs to June 30, 2026, which allows him to sign a pre-contract with overseas teams from January 1, 2026 under transfer rules.
• Palace are weighing a January sale to secure a fee rather than risk losing the defender for nothing in the summer, and they are not expected to accept a cut-price offer.
• A £35 million switch to Liverpool fell through on deadline day when Palace failed to land a replacement, a decision chairman Steve Parish defended.
• Interest spans Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Liverpool, with the Reds’ winter intent described as uncertain after injuries in defense.
