Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi has finally spoken about his future after his dramatic summer transfer collapse — one that saw his expected move to Liverpool fall through in the dying hours of deadline day.
The 24-year-old defender, who remains one of the most sought-after talents in English football, was moments away from switching to Anfield before Palace reportedly pulled the plug due to their inability to secure a replacement in time.
Since then, Guehi has continued to impress at Selhurst Park, not only holding his spot in the starting lineup but also leading the team as captain — a sign of his growing influence and maturity.
However, uncertainty looms large. The England international’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and sources suggest he is unlikely to sign a new contract, leaving him available on a free transfer next summer.
That situation has caught the attention of Europe’s elite. Recent reports link Guehi with possible moves to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and, of course, a renewed pursuit from Liverpool.
Speaking at England’s training base ahead of their upcoming matches against Wales and Latvia, Guehi brushed off the speculation:
> “For me, it doesn’t really matter. I’m just focused on playing well for Palace. Whether my future is decided now or later, that’s not something I’m thinking about. I prefer to take things step by step.”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot is believed to be monitoring Guehi closely during the international break, especially as defensive injuries continue to pile up.
Summer recruit Giovanni Leoni remains sidelined with a long-term knee issue, while Ibrahima Konate has raised further concerns after limping off in the defeat to Chelsea and missing training with France.
With January fast approaching, all eyes are on how Liverpool will strengthen their backline — and whether Guehi will finally make the switch that slipped away just weeks ago.
