Overview

• Parish told talkSPORT the club kept Marc Guehi after weighing advice and the value of stability during their Conference League season.
• Guehi remains captain with his deal running to the end of the season, leaving him free to discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January 1.
• Multiple reports say Liverpool retain interest and are considering January bids, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich also linked.
• Reports indicate Palace have identified West Ham’s Max Kilman as a potential replacement, but his contract to 2031, £40m 2024 fee and Nuno Espírito Santo’s backing make a move costly and difficult.
• Parish pointed to internal options Jaydee Canvot and Chadi Riad as part of succession planning that could reduce the need for an external signing.
