Overview
- Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish said the club rejected Liverpool’s deadline-day bid after an “analytical” assessment found letting Marc Guehi go would be a significant risk.
- Manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed Guehi will not sign a new contract and will leave next year when his current deal expires.
- Reports indicate Real Madrid are confident of securing Guehi on a free next summer, while Bayern Munich are exploring options and have held talks with his agent, with Barcelona also monitoring.
- Palace now face a decision between a cut‑price January sale or losing their captain for nothing in the summer as foreign clubs can begin pre‑contract talks in the new year.
- Coverage says Liverpool had advanced the move to the point of medical tests before Palace pulled the plug on deadline day, and Guehi has remained an ever‑present in a side currently 10th after a 3-0 win at Anfield in the Carabao Cup.
