Crystal Palace defender, Marc Guehi, is reportedly not interested in signing a new contract with the club. This decision comes after his potential move to Liverpool fell through. The 25-year-old England defender is said to be extremely unhappy with Crystal Palace for denying him a £35m transfer to Liverpool.
The failed transfer has sparked controversy within the club, as it was reported that manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign if Guehi was sold. Despite this, had Liverpool offered £55m for Guehi then Crystal Palace would have been willing to progress with the transfer.
Potential competition from Real Madrid
Liverpool's failure to secure Guehi may open doors for other clubs. Real Madrid has been mentioned as a possible contender in the race for his signature. With his contract set to expire next summer, he could potentially sign on as a free agent.
Guehi is currently in the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace and plans on rejecting any offer of a new deal from them. His intention appears clear - he plans on leaving as a free agent next summer.
This situation serves as an example of how complex player transfers can become and how they can impact relationships within football clubs. It also highlights how players' career decisions can be influenced by such events.
