Palace encouraged to retain Guehi for a triumphant campaign, according to Glasner
Marc Guehi, the standout defender and captain of Crystal Palace, continues to be a crucial figure for the South London club. Guehi, who joined Crystal Palace from Chelsea in 2021, has established himself as a key player, earning the armband and becoming a stalwart in the team.
Oliver Glasner, the Crystal Palace boss, has made it clear that keeping Guehi is essential for a successful 2025-26 season. This sentiment is shared by the club's goalscorer, Mateta, who has expressed his desire for Guehi to remain at Selhurst Park.
Liverpool has shown interest in signing Guehi, with reports of opening talks for a £30 million transfer. However, a recent deal fell through at the last minute due to Crystal Palace's inability to secure a suitable replacement for the South London boy.
Guehi's impact on the pitch is undeniable. In the Premier League, six of his seven goals have been scored away from home, and his latest goal, a 68th-minute strike against Aston Villa, was his first in the top flight to come from eight yards out or further. This goal extended Palace's unbeaten run across all competitions to 14 matches (W6 D8).
Guehi's leadership has been instrumental in Crystal Palace's recent successes. He led the team to their first FA Cup crown in the 2024-25 season and the Community Shield this term. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with Liverpool reportedly lodging a £35m bid for the defender, but Palace are seeking an overall package of £40m.
Despite the transfer interest, Guehi has expressed his gratitude for the support from the club, his teammates, and his family. He mentioned that focusing on the football makes it easier for him, and he is content with his current situation at Crystal Palace.
As Crystal Palace continues their league phase in the Conference League, the future of Guehi remains a topic of discussion. However, with his exceptional performances and the club's desire to keep him, it seems that Guehi will continue to be a vital part of the Crystal Palace squad for the foreseeable future.
