Pre-Contract Window Nears as Real Step Back in Marc Guehi Chase

Liverpool are expected to wait for a summer free transfer, reflecting Palace’s intent to keep him until his contract expires.

Overview

  • Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner reiterated he wants Marc Guehi to stay in January and has long expected him to see out the season.
  • From January 1, foreign clubs can negotiate pre-contract agreements with Guehi as his deal runs down.
  • Reports indicate Real Madrid are not pursuing Guehi and Barcelona are unlikely contenders due to financial constraints.
  • Liverpool remain leading suitors but are planning to wait for a free transfer in the summer, with Manchester City and Chelsea also monitoring the situation.
  • A potential Bosman move is expected to be costly, with reports and pundit estimates pointing to very high wages and a large signing-on fee.
