Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi Declines New Contract, Plans Exit Next Year

Captain’s Decision

Crystal Palace’s captain, Marc Guehi, has made it clear to the club that he will not be extending his contract and intends to depart at the end of the current season, as reported by manager Oliver Glasner.

Transfer Talks

At 25 years old, Guehi nearly made a move to Liverpool on the last day of the transfer window. However, Palace decided against the transfer, citing their inability to secure a suitable replacement in time.

Current Contract Status

Guehi’s existing arrangement at Selhurst Park is scheduled to conclude at the season’s end, attracting interest from numerous clubs both in the UK and internationally.

Manager’s Comments

Glasner has acknowledged that Guehi has communicated his decision to see out his contract in South London before pursuing new opportunities next summer.

“I believe Marc has already informed us that he won’t be signing an extension, so he will be moving on next year,” Glasner stated on Friday.

“The club wanted him to stay and even proposed a new contract, but he expressed his desire for a change. That’s completely understandable.”

“Our focus now is on how to manage this scenario moving forward, in terms of what steps we should take next, and that involves open dialogue.”
