Crystal Palace could cash in on Marc Guehi amid heavy interest and sell him in January if he fails to sign a new contract.
According to TBR, Crystal Palace are desperately trying to renew Marc Guehi’s contract but could put a deadline on his future. The Eagles could potentially sell the £75 million-rated Englishman in January if he fails to sign a new deal at Selhurst Park, with a host of Premier League sides keen on the centre-back.
Marc Guehi was the subject of big interest from Newcastle United during the summer, who saw at least four big bids rejected by Crystal Palace. The London side were open to selling the defender for a price point of around £75 million, which the Magpies never matched with their offers.
Newcastle United reportedly came close to an offer worth £65 million, but Palace stood firm with their demands for the £75 million-rated Englishman. In the end, Guehi stayed put at the club, and there has been talk of a new contract that the Eagles are keen to offer.
The big issue for Palace is that Guehi will have 18 months left on his deal, and is not overly desperate to decide his future. He could make a decision in 2025, which could depreciate his valuation at Selhurst Park, meaning Palace could be forced to sell him, probably even in January, which could allow Newcastle United to sign him on a cut-price deal.
There have been reports that Guehi could be available for £40-50 million in January, which would attract a lot of attention from interested suitors. Palace will first and foremost offer him a new deal rather than lose him, although should he fail to commit his future at Selhurst Park, the club could sell him in January itself.
Many top clubs keen on Guehi
Should Palace put him up for sale, there are a host of sides including summer suitors Newcastle United, Chelsea, and even Tottenham. There are reports that state, Guehi would love to join Liverpool, with the Merseysiders also big admirers of the £75 million-rated Englishman ahead of the future.
Crystal Palace are on thin ice with the Guehi situation, meaning they will try their best to renew his deal. However, should they wish to cash in for a decent value, it must be in January, as next summer, they will come under intense pressure to sell for less.
