Overview
- Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says Guéhi has declined a new deal and will leave next year after running down his contract.
- From January 1, non‑English clubs can negotiate directly, and AS/Goal report Real Madrid have held initial talks with the defender’s representatives.
- Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also monitoring the situation, with multiple outlets describing a growing cross‑Europe contest for a potential free transfer.
- Liverpool are described as attentive rather than active and are inclined to wait for a summer free move, having seen a £35m deal collapse on deadline day in September.
- Palace are expected to keep Guéhi through January despite the risk of a free exit, while Liverpool are separately reported to be close to signing Club Brugge centre‑back Joel Ordóñez for around £35m–£43m as immediate cover.
