Steve Parish Explains Why Crystal Palace Kept Marc Guehi This Season

He says the club prioritized its first Conference League campaign over a late-window sale.

Overview

  • Parish told talkSPORT it was a deliberate club decision to retain the captain, believing Palace would have a better season with him.
  • Guehi has one year left on his deal and, under Bosman rules, will be able to discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January 1.
  • Reports said Liverpool agreed a £35m fee and allowed a London medical on deadline day, but the move fell through after Palace failed to secure a replacement.
  • Parish highlighted internal options, naming Jaydee Canvot and the returning Chadi Riad, who is working back from an ACL injury targeted for October.
  • Following speculation that he threatened to resign if Guehi was sold, head coach Oliver Glasner has denied making such a threat, according to Anfield Index.
