It is not clear whether Liverpool will exercise the option to try and buy the star player in the January transfer window or wait until next June.
It was just a couple of days ago when Alex Scott had stated that it was a “dream come true” for him to get called up for the first-time to the England football team by Thomas Tuchel.
Crystal Palace’s manager made this shocking revelation ahead of their game against Tottenham Hotspur.
After Crystal Palace decided to not give the 25-year-old the green light to join Liverpool, many thought that the move will be a foregone conclusion next summer, but it seemingly isn’t going to be the case.
Apart from Chelsea and Liverpool, some of the other clubs interested in signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace include Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich.
The current contract of English defender Marc Guehi with Crystal Palace is set to run out on June 30, 2026.
It is understood that Marc Guehi didn’t get the final permission to leave Crystal Palace because club manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign from his position.
Marc Guehi will join Liverpool while boasting more than 240 senior appearances for club and country, to add valuable experience to Arne Slot’s defensive unit.
Marc Guehi has made 156 appearances in his four seasons at Crystal Palace.
The Crystal Palace manager also talked about how they will stay committed to the club until they are with them, wanting to give 100% until their departure.
“For players of that calibre to leave on a free, it is a problem,” said Steve Parish post Eagles’ victory against Liverpool.
Johnson emphasized that Liverpool should not allow Ibrahima to leave on a free transfer next summer.
Marc Guehi is not in any sort of a hurry to have a move finalised away from Crystal Palace, especially not at the expense of reduced playing time next season.
