'I can tell you' - Fabrizio Romano drops Marc Guehi transfer update amid Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City interest

Marc Guehi continues to prefer to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season rather than depart in January, reports suggest. The centre-back is in high demand given his Selhurst Park deal comes to a conclusion in the summer. It has been confirmed that Guehi will not sign fresh terms at the Eagles and he seeks pastures new. The England international was agonisingly close to joining Liverpool last summer. A £35 million fee was agreed but Palace pulled the plug at the 11th hour as they could not recruit a suitable replacement. Eagles head coach Oliver Glasner has admitted that the 2025 FA Cup winners - who suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Macclesfield to crash out of this season’s competition - are open to selling Guehi during the January transfer window if their price tag is met. Manchester City have a defensive crisis, with Josko Gvaridiol, Ruben Dias and John Stones injured and it’s suggested that they could make a move. Liverpool are monitoring the situation ahead of another swoop in the summer, although Premier League leaders Arsenal have emerged as candidates. According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, City are set to try to prise Guehi to the Etihad Stadium in the coming days. But the former Chelsea defender is still leaning towards seeing out his Palace contract. Speaking on YouTube, Romano said: “I can tell you on Marc Guehi, the intention of the player has always been moving in the summer on a free transfer, with Liverpool really pushing and Arsenal calling because Arteta is a big fan. Bayern [Munich] have also had some meetings for Guehi but now [Dayot] Upamecano is expected to sign a new contract. “Manchester City can be clear. They want Guehi, they want to make an important proposal and want to go strong in this January window and will try next week. If the player decides to accept, Man City are prepared to make an agreement with Crystal Palace. They don't see any problems with that but it's on the player and his plan has always been to move in the summer. So let's see what happens but Marc Guehi story remains absolutely alive.” Speaking on Guehi’s future last week, Glasner said: “If you're just valuing sports, everyone in the club will say Marc has to stay. The chairman will tell you the same. But it's not one-dimensional. If you see the financial situation, it's very important. "If somebody comes, there will be a moment when the club says 'now the financial issue is more important than the sports issue'. There will be a threshold where the club has to say it will happen - as long as Marc says 'I want to leave', because the final decision is always with the player. "The chairman rejected many offers in the summer because we want to play a successful season and wanted to win the Community Shield. Therefore, Marc is important, and then he rejected the offer. The threshold at that time, the money we got offered was not above it. Maybe it was close, but it was not above."
