"The Crystal Palace captain and England international, now 25, has informed his club that he will not renew his contract, which expires this summer. From January 1, Guéhi can legally negotiate and sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs, setting the stage for one of the most high-profile free transfers of 2025. His decision comes after a turbulent summer and a collapsed move to Liverpool that left him frustrated-but since then, his performances have only strengthened his market value."
"Guéhi's appeal lies in a rare combination of attributes: composure on the ball, positional intelligence, and leadership. Primarily a left-sided centre-back despite being right-footed, he offers tactical flexibility and excels at progressive passing-ranking among the best defenders for through-balls and diagonal switches. His recent displays for England, where he is tipped to anchor the defense at the 2026 World Cup, have further elevated his profile."
Marc Guéhi, 25, has informed Crystal Palace he will not renew his contract, which expires this summer. From January 1 he can negotiate and sign a pre-contract with foreign clubs, enabling a free move in July. The failed deadline-day transfer to Liverpool left him frustrated, but his subsequent performances have increased his market value. Guéhi combines composure, positional intelligence and leadership, operating primarily as a left-sided centre-back despite being right-footed, and ranks highly for progressive passing and diagonal switches. He is tipped to anchor England's defense at the 2026 World Cup and will command substantial wages and signing-on fees.
