rejected offers for defender Guehi from Newcastle United<\/a> in January – the last of which was worth \u00a365m – in the hope the defender would sign a new deal in south-west London.<\/p>\nBut the England international has now entered the final 12 months of his deal at Selhurst Park, and appears no closer to extending his contract. <\/p>\n
Guehi is said to be open to remaining with the club until 2026, at which point he can leave on a free transfer.<\/p>\n
But Parish says the club would reluctantly prefer to cash in on Guehi this summer.<\/p>\n
“We’d have to do that, of course,” said Parish.<\/p>\n
“For players of that calibre to leave on a free, it’s a problem for us unfortunately. <\/p>\n
“Joachim [Andersen] went [to Fulham last summer] and we couldn’t afford to lose both. <\/p>\n
“We then had another bid [for Guehi] in January but that was a different situation. <\/p>\n
“We’ll just have to see what happens. But, you know, it needs a new contract or a conclusion of some kind.”<\/p>\n
Liverpool retain an interest in Guehi but it remains to be seen whether Arne Slot’s side will spend heavily on a player they could acquire for free in 2026.<\/p>\n
Palace are believed to want around \u00a340m for Guehi, but Liverpool want to pay less than that figure.<\/p>\n
The Reds have already spent around \u00a3270m this summer, though they’ve recouped around \u00a3170m through player sales. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says the club will sell captain Marc Guehi this summer to avoid losing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-59489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
