Crystal Palace Weighs Marc Guehi Sale Amid Liverpool, Tottenham Competition

Crystal Palace captain and centre-back Marc Guehi is at the center of significant transfer interest this summer, primarily from Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. With just one year remaining on his contract and no renewal in sight, Palace is looking to cash in on Guehi rather than risk losing him for free next summer, valuing him around £40-45 million. Liverpool are considered the favorites to sign Guehi, though Tottenham remains interested and may make another bid, especially if Cristian Romero departs Spurs. Guehi is reportedly happy at Palace and willing to see out his contract, complicating transfer negotiations. The defender's decision may also be influenced by Palace's current exclusion from the Europa League due to UEFA regulations, while Spurs can offer Champions League football. Meanwhile, Palace is working to retain key players like Jean-Philippe Mateta amid interest from other clubs, aiming to avoid a destabilizing summer after their historic FA Cup success.
