Fabrizio Romano shared the news on his official X account after manager Oliver Glasner confirmed it post-training on Friday. He remarked:
We wanted Marc to stay, but he wants something different.
The player, who made the switch from Chelsea to Palace in 2021, has established himself as a reliable defender for the team. Softfootball noted that Bayern Munich and Barcelona are monitoring his situation, with both clubs likely to make a move once he becomes available to negotiate in January.
With over 150 matches for Palace, Guehi has gained admiration from fans and teammates for his poise and reliability on the field. However, his decision to leave is not entirely unexpected, as sources close to him suggest he is looking for a new challenge at a higher level.
Crystal Palace now faces the task of preparing for life without their captain while maintaining team stability during a season that has already been challenging.
Guehi’s exit will leave a significant gap for Palace, who have depended on his leadership and stability. For Guehi, this could signal the beginning of an exciting chapter in his career, possibly at one of the elite clubs across Europe.
