Marc Guéhi, whose contract at Crystal Palace expires in the summer of 2026, is expected to be the center of attention during the winter transfer market in January.
The transfer of the 25-year-old central defender was very close to being completed in the last hours of the summer market. Liverpool were preparing to sign him, and the Ivorian, who also has English nationality, even underwent medical examinations in reds and prepare to sign.
However, Crystal Palace, after strong pressure from coach Oliver Glasner, who allegedly threatened to resign, decided to block the transfer, rejecting an offer of €40 million from the English champions, aware of the risk of losing the player without any compensation, as the contract ends in the summer of 2026.
The captain of the London team did not renew the player’s contract, which gives him the right, from January 1st, to start negotiations with any team.
According to the international press, the list of those interested in the central defender, who has played 25 games this season, scored two goals and provided four assists in all competitions, is already extensive.
Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Tottenham and Liverpool have already expressed their intention to talk to the player. At the same time, there is strong interest from European giants, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Atl. Madrid, PSG, Inter and Juventus.
