Marc Guehi refuses a new contract with Crystal Palace: what next.
According to The Sun: MARC GUEHI will reject any contract offer from Crystal Palace after a failed move to Liverpool.
The club's chairman Steve Parish noted that Guehi's situation must be resolved this summer – either sell or sign a new contract.
AlamyHowever, any new terms that may be offered to the defender will be declined.
Guehi, 25, has a contract for another year and plans to leave the club for free next summer.
Liverpool will undoubtedly be a serious contender again, as well as other clubs from the Premier League and Europe could show interest.
Arsenal previously monitored the former Chelsea player, while Real Madrid and Barcelona may also be options.
Guehi has never turned down playing, and there are no concerns about his attitude this year.
Liverpool agreed on a £35 million deal with Palace, and the defender of the England national team even passed a medical before the deal was scrapped.
The club even prepared a farewell video that became known through a leak on social media.
Brighton's defender Ihor Julio was initially targeted as a replacement but ultimately moved to West Ham.

After intense negotiations between coach Oliver Glasner and Parish, it was decided not to continue with the deal at a late stage.
The club had concerns that if the captain was sold, Glasner might leave.
Internal situation regarding Guehi's failed move to Liverpool after conflicts with Glasner
OLIVER GLASNER has won his battle with Steve Parish over captain Marc Guehi.
The club's most successful manager in history had such an influence on the situation that he insisted on not losing his captain at such a late stage of the transfer window.
Glasner publicly stated that he wanted Guehi to stay after their victory against Aston Villa.
At the club, some feared that he could leave if the defender was sold.
After winning the FA Cup in May and beating Liverpool in the Community Shield, he had the perfect moment to assert his influence.
It's not that Palace didn't try to get compensation for Guehi, who can now leave the club for free in a year.
While Palace retained Guehi, the club received worrying news about injuries.
Adam Wharton is out of the England national team for up to two months due to a groin injury. The midfielder has already missed three months after groin surgery last season.
Ismaila Sarr is expected to be out for about a month due to a hamstring tear and has also been ruled out of the Senegal national team, while new signing Yeremi Pino returned from the Spain national team due to discomfort in his ankle.

Keeping track of developments in this area is essential not only for fans but also for analysts predicting how these changes could impact teams' results in the future.
