Marc Guéhi will not rush into a decision on his future and is ready to see out the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace if the right offer is not made this summer. Palace are keen to cash in on the England defender, who is being linked with Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham, but they risk losing one of their key assets for free next year.
Guéhi, 24, has no plans to renew his contract and is considering his next destination carefully. His main priority is to secure ample playing time next season, particularly to secure a place in the England national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. That objective would mean huge rewards if he joined a club that could offer him an immediate first-team place.
Liverpool have emerged as serious contenders for Marc Guéhi's services, especially after they are expected to sell Jarell Quansahin to Bayer Leverkusen for £30m. However, the challenge could be that Arne Slot continues to rely on Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté as the starting pair in defence. Van Dijk has renewed his defence with Liverpool City and is playing at a high level, while Konaté is approaching the final year of his contract and has been plagued by injuries. Joe Gomez, another option, has been out since February with a groin injury.
If Liverpool are to offer the right amount, Marc Guéhi will face a big choice: join the most successful English team and work under Slot, or choose a club that guarantees him more playing time. Other clubs that can offer to secure a starting place remain in the race, giving the defender the opportunity to choose the most suitable project for his development and prepare for big international challenges.
