"The 25-year-old had looked set to join Liverpool in the summer until the Palace chair, Steve Parish, pulled the plug a few hours before the transfer deadline. Guehi was said to have been left extremely unhappy about the collapse of his move but has put that behind him and continued to excel for Palace. However, Glasner confirmed before Palace's meeting with Bournemouth at Selhurst Park on Saturday that Guehi has already signalled his intention to depart."
"I think Marc has already told us that he doesn't sign a new contract, so he will leave next year, said the Palace manager. The club wanted [him to stay]. They offered Marc a new contract. But he said: No, I want to make something different.' And that's normal. And for us, it's how we can deal with this situation? [What] is the best way to get this next step done? And that's all about how we are talking together."
"Meanwhile, Glasner confirmed he has opened talks over extending his contract at Palace. It also expires at the end of the season but the 51-year-old Austrian warned his future could depend on whether the club can continue to build on their first major trophy. We are talking, but we have 19 games to play before the new year, Glasner said. I am here to do the best for Crystal Palace and win as many games as possible."
Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace captain, has informed the club he will not sign a new contract and intends to leave at the end of the season. Palace offered a new deal after Guehi led the team to the FA Cup triumph, but he rejected the proposal. Guehi nearly joined Liverpool in the summer before the move collapsed shortly before the transfer deadline and was reportedly unhappy, yet he continued to perform strongly for Palace. Strong interest is believed to come from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool, and Guehi can sign a foreign pre-contract from 1 January 2026. Manager Oliver Glasner has opened talks to extend his own contract but emphasised focus remains on winning the remaining games.
