In English football history, “Crystal Palace” made a huge mark by winning both the FA Cup and the Super Cup in the same season for the first time ever. However, before the summer transfer window closes, major changes are expected at the club. The team’s true leader, captain, and defensive rock, Marc Guehi, may soon say goodbye to the club.
According to club president Steve Parish, one of the main reasons for this decision is that there is very little time left on the player’s contract. He stated that if a new agreement is not reached with the 25-year-old defender, the club will be forced to put him up for transfer.
It is worth noting that last summer “Crystal Palace” rejected serious offers from “Newcastle.” Since then, Marc has remained an important part of the starting lineup and played a key role in the Super Cup victory over “Liverpool.” However, Parish says this time the situation is different — time is not on their side.
— We must be ready for this. Letting players of this caliber leave for free means huge financial losses. Last summer, when Joachim Andersen left for “Fulham,” we didn’t want to lose both of them. But this time the contract situation must be resolved or another solution must be found, — Parish told The Guardian.
For reference, in January there were also clubs interested in Guehi, but at that time “Crystal Palace” had no intention of selling him. Now the situation has changed, and his future is expected to be decided in the coming weeks.
For fans, the hardest question is how the captain’s departure will affect the team’s atmosphere and performance on the field. Without a doubt, Guehi’s transfer will remain one of the significant events in the club’s history.
