A Major Price Drop for Guehi

In a surprising turn of events, Crystal Palace has drastically reduced their asking price for highly sought-after defender Marc Guehi ahead of the January transfer window. Reports suggest the Eagles are now open to selling the 25-year-old for just £25 million—a significant £10 million drop from their previous demands.

Guehi's Blocked Move and Feelings of Betrayal

Guehi's anticipated transfer to Liverpool almost came to fruition on deadline day. The Merseyside club had agreed to a £35 million deal, and conditions including medical checks and personal terms were all set. However, Palace pulled the plug at the last minute, leaving the player feeling understandably betrayed. Sources close to the player indicate that he has no intention of extending his contract, which expires in June 2026.

The Fallout: Tensions at Selhurst Park

Rumors of a strained relationship between Guehi and Palace's manager, Oliver Glasner, have surfaced. Glasner was reportedly prepared to resign if Guehi were sold without a suitable replacement—a move that complicates Guehi's future at the club.

Liverpool Poised to Act in January

With Crystal Palace keen to avoid losing Guehi on a free transfer, Liverpool appears ready to rekindle their interest come January. Football insiders have revealed that the Reds are primed to act swiftly, especially given that clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid are now eyeing Guehi after his stalled move to Liverpool.

Gary Lineker Weighs In on Guehi's Situation

Football legend Gary Lineker has advised Guehi to consider waiting until the end of his contract to secure a move. On a recent podcast, he expressed his belief that Palace has exploited Guehi’s situation: "They've used him a little bit... It was tough for him to be pulled back at the last moment," Lineker remarked.

What Lies Ahead for Liverpool and Guehi?

As the January window approaches, the spotlight shines on Guehi’s fate. Will Liverpool finally secure the talented defender? With his price significantly lowered, it seems the odds are in favor of the Reds, who are set to benefit from a player many clubs recognize as a high-value asset.
