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.
Marcus Rashford has made a strong start to life on loan at Barcelona, but his future still hangs in the balance. The Manchester United loanee has provided 13 goal contributions for the Catalan club across La Liga and the Champions League.
