Parish Defends Blocking Liverpool Deal as European Giants Line Up for Marc Guéhi

Pre-contract talks open to foreign suitors on January 1, with Crystal Palace signaling a summer exit rather than a January sale.

Overview

  • Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said selling Guéhi on deadline day would have been a “significant risk” to the team’s season after Liverpool made an offer.
  • Manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed Guéhi rejected a new contract and will leave at the end of the campaign.
  • Reports state the defender travelled to Liverpool for medical tests before Palace pulled the plug on the move late in the window.
  • Real Madrid are reported to be confident of landing Guéhi on a free, with Bayern Munich meeting his agent and Barcelona, Inter Milan and Liverpool also tracking the situation.
  • Parish has strongly hinted Palace will keep their captain through the season, leaving foreign clubs able to negotiate a pre-contract from January under FIFA rules.
