Marc Guehi has made his mind up on his future at Crystal Palace.
Guehi, 25, can therefore join any club of his choosing after June 30 next year, when his contract officially expires. However, he can also sign a pre-contract agreement with another club in the January transfer window, securing his future ahead of time.
“The club wanted [him to stay]. They offered Marc a new contract. But he said, 'no, I want to make something different' - and that's normal.
