Crystal Palace Captain Mark Guech will enter the final year of his contract and will be sold this summer when Liverpool or Tottenham pays the centre-back asking price
Crystal Palace knows that the summer transfer window represents Mark Guech’s last chance to win cash. And their stance is in Liverpool’s hands.
Guehi entered the final 12 months of his current contract with the palace and made it clear he would not sign a new one. The English defender has been attracting attention from the rival Premier League side for a while and was able to eventually leave the South London Club.
Newcastle pushed hard to sign Guehi last summer, but eventually retreated due to reluctance to pay the palace’s £70 million asking price. His contract expired less than a year later, so the palace reduced its ratings, but it only lost about £50 million.
Liverpool is not the sole stakeholder and reports that Miller Football revealed Tottenham is on the run on Monday. The Spurs bid back to £700 million for centre-back in January, but were rejected by the palace and are ready to return this summer.

He told Sky Sports News: “I know Liverpool is keen on him at a reasonable price. Tottenham, who bids on him today in January, suggests he’s still unforgettable, but he’s still in the mix.
“I think the palace is trying to win cash rather than face losing him for free next summer, but he has the strength of his hands. He is very pleased with Crystal Palace with the sound. I don’t think he’ll be afraid to go to the end of his deal. It seems a new contract is on the agenda.
“And with full respect for Crystal Palace, I think Mark Guech will play at the top of Champions League football.
