Liverpool is on the transfer market for a new defender and can take a step for Marc Guehi after he saw Jarell Quansah leave for Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer
Crystal Palace does not seem to be worried about an imminent departure for Marc Guehi after taking the defender at the launch of their new kit. The Eagles released their new home shirt and the English international was in the front and in the middle of the club's promotional material.
Guehi speculated his future after entering the last year of his contract in Selhurst Park with Liverpool under the clubs that are linked to his signature. Newcastle United was unfolding a transfersaga about the product of Chelsea Academy last summer when they endured tense negotiations, but in the end they were not willing to reach the asking price of Palace of £ 70 million
And the side of South London seems to be in a stingy mood again this summer. Despite the fact that it is possible to cash in the final chance of Palace, their £ 40 million requirement seems to be made.
But there are few indications that Guehi will sign a new contract, and instead, reports suggest that he is willing to wait his contract. That is a movement that could be up to the Reds that the star could still land for free.
At the moment there seems to be little risk that another team will dive into to force Liverpool in an earlier step. And the decision of Palace to include Guehi in their kit launch would suggest that they anticipate the defender who starts the season in Selhurst Park.
Guehi could be seen alongside Eagles star Jean-Philippe Mateta, Adam Wharton, Maxence Lacroix and Justin Devenny on Saturday. Ebereechi Eze, who is connected to Arsenal and Tottenham this summer, was not to the material.
Eze was also absent in the opening -friendly Palace of the Summer. The Oliver Glasner team faced local rivals Millwall and got away with 1-0 victors thanks to the goal of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.
The will of Mateta, Wharton, New Signing Bora Sosa and Matheus Franca were all shown in the first half of the collision, but Eze was missing. However, there was nothing bad in the decision, because they are not yet integrated into the training for the season.
In an attempt to relieve fears, Palace said: “Players involved in international duty at the end of the 24/25 season have to return to training.”
Eze, 27, would have a release clause of £ 68 million with the FA Cup winners.
