Marc Guehi has already spoken out on his future at Crystal Palace amid Liverpool reports that have re-emerged in the past few days.
Earlier in the window, we saw Liverpool and Newcastle nearly complete a sensational swap deal involving Joe Gomez and Anthony Gordon but it fell through before the PSR deadline. That move opened the Reds up to the idea that Gomez could depart, opening the door for another centre-back to arrive and they have been linked with moves for defenders since.
There’s also the future of Sepp van den Berg and Nat Phillips to consider, as both look likely to exit the club in the current window. Interestingly, Newcastle had submitted multiple offers to Palace for the signing of Guehi, with the London club rejecting a bid of £60m (+£5m in add-ons) suggests a bid nearer to £65m-70m is the figure that will be required.
“I can [focus]. I have never really been one to look too far into myself if that makes sense. Focusing on what is truly important (Brentford on Sunday) is always important. I don’t like being the centre of attention at all, I prefer to stay in the back and let other people get the limelight. It is important to make sure that for the rest of the season as a team we are at it.”
Palace chairman Steve Parish also spoke out on his future, claiming that if any club does want him then they would have to pay a considerable amount. He also called Guehi a ‘superstar’ in which the defender responded to. “I am humbled by that. But some really kind words from the chairman. For somebody that is such a big part of this football club to say something like that is amazing for somebody like me.
