Crystal Palace will sell captain Marc Guehi during this transfer window if the right offer is made, head coach Oliver Glasner has confirmed.
Guehi, who is out of contract in June, saw a last-gasp move to Liverpool blocked at the end of the previous window, before rejecting a new deal in October.
Manchester City have emerged as contenders to land the defender’s signature, following injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol during Sunday’s draw with Chelsea.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter and Atletico Madrid are also reportedly interested in the England international, who can sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club this month.
Guehi captained Palace to their first major honours in 2025, as they beat City to win the FA Cup, before edging out Liverpool in the Community Shield on penalties.

“I’m not naive,” said Glasner, as reported by the Athletic and the Times. “If a massive offer comes from City and Marc wants to do it, it will happen.”
“If you’re just valuing sports, everyone in the club will say Marc has to stay. The chairman will tell you the same. But it’s not one-dimensional. If you see the financial situation, it’s very important.
“If somebody comes, there will be a moment when the club says ‘now the financial issue is more important than the sports issue’.
“There will be a threshold where the club has to say it will happen – as long as Marc says ‘I want to leave’, because the final decision is always with the player.”
