"Glasner obviously doesn't want to lose him mid-way through the season, he's a crucial player, their captain, one of their best players and so important to everything they do. So on the playing side of things, it would be very risky to let him leave in January when they still hold ambitions of pushing up the league table and winning in Europe."
"The English defender is being constantly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park due to his contract situation. Guehi is set to become a free agent next year and he has made it clear to the club that he does not intend to sign a new deal at Selhurst Park. Despite the chance to lose him for free next summer, Glasner is willing to keep him at the club for the remainder of the season."
Marc Guehi has indicated he will not sign a new contract and will become a free agent next year. Crystal Palace face a choice between keeping their captain to support league and European ambitions or selling him in January to secure a transfer fee. Manager Oliver Glasner prioritises retaining Guehi for the season because of his leadership and defensive importance. Club hierarchy see a January sale as financially prudent after nearly selling him in the summer. Liverpool are among the clubs targeting Guehi ahead of the January transfer window, increasing the likelihood of a move.
