Crystal Palace appear set to retain England centre-back Marc Guehi after a proposed £35m move to Liverpool stalled when Palace failed to sign a suitable replacement. The club signed teenager Jaydee Canvot from Toulouse on a four-year deal, but that arrival was not seen as adequate cover. Palace held talks for Brighton's Igor Julio, but that transfer collapsed. Guehi has made 161 appearances for Palace and leads the club in successful passes, clearances, aerial duels won and interceptions since July 2021. Guehi's Palace contract expires at the end of the 2025-26 season.
Crystal Palace seem set to keep hold of Liverpool target Marc Guehi despite signing centre-back Jaydee Canvot. Guehi, who scored as Palace beat Aston Villa 3-0 on Sunday, seemed likely to join the Premier League champions on Monday. The England international reportedly completed a medical in London, yet a £35m move stalled due to Palace failing to bring in a replacement.
Guehi led Oliver Glasner's side to their first major trophy after they defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final, before going on to lift the Community Shield with a win over new employers Liverpool last month. Indeed, since joining Palace in July 2021, no player has played more successful passes (8,093), made more clearances (609), won more aerial duels (276) and made more interceptions (149) than Guehi for the Eagles in all competitions, while only Tyrick Mitchell (170) has featured more times for the club during that timeframe.
