In 34 days, Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi will be free to complete a move to a European club when his contract expires on 30 June.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old can sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club when the winter transfer window opens on 1 January 2026.<\/p>\n

Liverpool missed the chance to buy the England centre-back for \u00a335m in the summer. The transfer saga, which lasted throughout the window, ended when Palace were unable to sign a suitable replacement<\/a> – a decision driven by manager Oliver Glasner.<\/p>\n

It meant the south London club missed out on a significant fee for Guehi with only one year left on his contract, but retained their talisman after losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal a week earlier.<\/p>\n

Liverpool remain keen to revive their pursuit, though there are no guarantees the move will materialise.<\/p>\n

Guehi now has other options and it is understood top clubs in Europe have already registered an interest.<\/p>\n

But he is not the only high-profile centre-back who might be available on a free transfer next summer.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s own Ibrahima Konate has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid at the end of his contract, potentially following in the footsteps of former defensive partner Trent Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n

However, reports on Friday morning suggested Real Madrid have ended their apparent pursuit, with BBC Sport unaware of any concrete interest.<\/p>\n

His uncertain future has been widely cited as a factor for his poor form.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid could lose defenders Antonio Rudiger, 32, and David Alaba, 33, this summer with both about to enter the final seven months of their contracts.<\/p>\n

It leaves Guehi and Dayot Upamecano as options if they are to enter the free market to strengthen at centre-back – a strategy they have used several times in recent seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 34 days, Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi will be free to complete a move to a European…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165286,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-165285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165285"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165285\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
