"Speaking to the media recently, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner was asked about the defender's situation and future at the club, especially given the endless links with clubs from across the world. In what was a shocking development, the manager went on to admit that Guehi will indeed leave the Premier League side at the end of the season and that his transfer as a free agent was all but confirmed."
""Marc Guehi has already told us that he will not sign a new contract, so he will leave next year." The manager went on to add how he and the entire management desperately wished for the leader to stay and how his decision came as a massive blow to the team. "Not only me, but the whole club wanted Marc to sign a new contract, and we offered it to him, but he wants something different.""
Inigo Martinez left Barcelona for Al-Nassr, leaving a major gap in the centre-back department and forcing Hansi Flick to adapt without an ideal partner for Pau Cubarsi. Pau Cubarsi has remained a regular starter but lacks a long-term defensive partner of Martinez's calibre. The manager experimented with multiple defensive permutations without lasting success. Barcelona prioritizes signing a centre-back to start alongside Cubarsi. Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has emerged as a potential target after manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Guehi will leave Palace at season's end as a free agent, having declined a new contract and previously nearly joining Liverpool.
