Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur both have great expectations for the upcoming season despite missing their goals the previous one.
While the Reds withdrew from the title fight with only a few weeks remaining, Spurs came agonizingly close to finishing in the Premier League’s top four but had to settle for fifth place.
During the summer transfer season, Tottenham and Liverpool both made some intriguing additions, but there was a sense that both teams might have done better.
For example, Spurs decided against trying to sign a new center-back, but they might give it another thought in light of Radu Dragusin’s careless mistake and subsequent red card against Qarabag.
Liverpool, on the other hand, could use a new center-back after Joel Matip left on a free transfer and they failed to find a replacement.
The Reds and Lilywhites have now been made aware of a noteworthy development about Marc Guehi’s circumstances at Crystal Palace.
TBR Football is aware that Guehi has been informed by Palace that if he declines to sign a new contract, they would sell him in 2025.
Guehi’s attempt to sign for Newcastle United fell through, but Palace wants to keep him until 2026 since his contract is up.
TBR Football is aware that Guehi has informed Palace that he would prefer to focus on playing and that he is not very eager to meet with them at this time.
According to TBR Football, Palace may want to sell in January if it looks like a new agreement will not be reached.
In the summer, Palace asked the Magpies for £75 million, and it appears that they will likely back down.
Newcastle is still reportedly interested, although Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Aston Villa are all closely monitoring the situation.
Given his exceptional skill, it’s not unexpected that Guehi was heavily mentioned in the summer transfer rumors.
Even though he is only 24 years old, he has already demonstrated his abilities as a center defense both in the Premier League and internationally.
Oliver Glasner expressed pride that Guehi remained at Palace for the summer, but the Eagles will need to be aware that his worth may decline given that his contract is slated to end in 2026.
Guehi’s contract expires the next year, and Palace can’t risk losing him to a team that would choose to sit him out for another six to twelve month
The Eagles would therefore be better off making a January sale, even though they could find it difficult to raise the £75 million they had requested during the summer.
