Palace Set to Keep Marc Guehi Until Summer as Liverpool Eye Free-Transfer Fight

Liverpool are expected to wait despite defensive injuries, with Manchester City plus European giants circling.

Overview

  • Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has reiterated he expects his captain to remain through the season, with no January sale anticipated.
  • Guehi is entering the final six months of his deal and can sign a pre-contract with overseas clubs from 1 January under FIFA rules.
  • Liverpool still view Guehi as a priority target and are leaning toward a summer move despite short-term centre-back issues involving Giovanni Leoni, Joe Gomez and a potential Ibrahima Konaté suspension.
  • Manchester City are closely monitoring the situation as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Inter have also been credited with interest.
  • A Bosman move could carry heavy costs, with pundit estimates pointing to substantial wages and a sizable signing-on fee even without a transfer fee.
