"Crystal Palace are plotting a raid on rivals West Ham United for their defensive mainstay Max Kilman. The Eagles have started preparing for life without Marc Guehi. Oliver Glasner's team are exploring the market for potential replacements, as their skipper's future is up in the air because of his contract situation. According to a report from Football Insider, Crystal Palace have their eyes set on West Ham United's Max Kilman. The Eagles could make a move for the 28-year-old in the upcoming transfer window."
"Guehi was on the verge of leaving Selhurst Park this summer. Liverpool had an agreement in place with the Eagles. However, Steven Parish blocked the move in the eleventh hour. While the 25-year-old continues to wear the armband at Crystal Palace, his future is still uncertain. His contract runs out at the end of the season, and a new deal is nowhere in the picture. He could either leave the club mid-season or run down his deal to become a free agent next summer."
"However, signing him won't be that straightforward because of multiple reasons. His contract runs until the summer of 2031, and having spent 40 million to sign him, the Hammers would want a significant fee to let him leave. Meanwhile, Nuno Espirito Santo's arrival has further complicated matters. The Portuguese manager, who took charge last month, is believed to be a massive admirer of the 28-year-old centre-back."
Crystal Palace are preparing for life without Marc Guehi and are exploring defensive replacements. Guehi's contract expires at the end of the season and a new deal is not imminent, leaving open the possibility of a mid-season departure or running his deal down to leave on a free transfer. Palace have identified West Ham centre-back Max Kilman as a potential target and could move for the 28-year-old in the next transfer window. Kilman is under contract until 2031 and was signed for around £40 million, making any move costly. New West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo admires Kilman and may prefer to keep him.
