While the likes of Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa did all they could to ensure they earned their desired moves in the summer, Marc Guéhi opted for an alternate approach.
The Crystal Palace captain was the subject of strong transfer interest from Liverpool, and the Reds looked poised to finally secure his services in the final few hours of the window.
However, the Eagles’ inability to acquire a replacement forced Oliver Glasner to step in and shut down the deal. Thus, Guéhi remains on Palace’s books for 2025–26, with some suggesting that his exemplary behaviour during the saga perhaps cost him his big move.
But the Englishman will soon be off. Glasner has confirmed that Guéhi won’t be extending his contract at Selhurst Park, meaning a departure is inevitable in 2026. The only question is whether Palace will earn a fee for his sale in the winter, as opposed to letting him walk for nothing at the end of the season.
It was Liverpool and only Liverpool in the summer, but more suitors may emerge for the excellent centre-half next year. Here‘s how ranks Guéhi’s potential destinations based on the likelihood of the move happening.
