“Every player has got his price, Palace did very well to hang onto him in the summer when they turned down that late move to Liverpool on deadline day. We know Oliver Glasner is determined to keep hold of Guehi, he’s such a key man for him, he’s the club captain as well. Crystal Palace have resigned themselves to that [letting Guehi leave for free] as well that they are happy to keep him and let him walk out on a free as well. So unless City do come up with a big big offer which is too good to turn down, I don’t think Palace will be in any rush to let him go.”
Crystal Palace may be tempted to accept a “big” offer for Marc Guehi this month as Man City plan to push to reach an agreement. Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that Crystal Palace could ignore Glasner’s plans if the money on offer proves tempting.
The boss hopes to keep Guehi at Selhurst Park until the end of the season, when his contract will expire and the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich are expected to join the race.
However, sources say the Eagles remain happy to keep hold of Guehi until the end of the season and will only let him leave if the offer proves too good to turn down.
Speaking on the Inside Track podcast, I explained: “Yeah, if the price is right, Palace could end up selling Marc Guehi before the window closes. We all know that they’re going to lose out if nothing happens in this transfer window, Guehi will walk out on a free transfer and have his pick of clubs in the summer.
