Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Marc Gu\u00e9hi will depart the club when his contract expires next summer, with several major clubs expected to pursue him.<\/p>\n
Glasner said the centre-back will not sign a new deal and that the club had made an offer. \u201cI think Marc has already told us that he doesn\u2019t sign a new contract, so he will leave next year,\u201d Glasner admitted. \u201cThe club wanted [him to stay]. They offered Marc a new contract. But he said, \u2018No, I want to make something different.\u2019 And that\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd for us, it\u2019s how we can deal with this situation? [What] is the best way to get this next step done? And that\u2019s all about how we are talking together.\u201d<\/p>\n
A free transfer at the end of the 2026 cycle has long been regarded as likely. While clubs could attempt a conventional January move, the England international is expected to remain with Palace through the season and leave on a free when his contract expires. That timetable gives overseas teams a practical advantage under FIFA rules, as Barcelona and Real Madrid can speak directly with Gu\u00e9hi in January to discuss a pre-contract.<\/p>\n
Domestic Premier League clubs must wait until later in the summer before officially approaching domestic free agents. Liverpool are expected to be among the suitors, and Manchester City and Manchester United have also been named. As the prospect of a free transfer becomes more realistic, further interest could follow; Bayern Munich and Chelsea have been tentatively linked.<\/p>\n
Gu\u00e9hi\u2019s eventual choice is likely to rest on the project on offer. Glasner\u2019s statements underline Palace\u2019s position: the club tried to retain its captain, the player has chosen a different path, and the remainder of the season will be about managing that transition on and off the pitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
