Marc Guehi Remains Committed to Crystal Palace Despite Newcastle’s Interest
Despite being Newcastle United’s primary summer transfer target, Marc Guehi chose not to force a move away from Crystal Palace.
Manager Oliver Glasner reports that Guehi has demonstrated his contentment at the club.
Although Newcastle made a substantial offer for Guehi, their efforts to sign the Crystal Palace captain were unsuccessful.
While Guehi was open to the possibility of joining Newcastle, he refrained from submitting a formal transfer request, showing respect for Crystal Palace’s role in his development as both a Premier League regular and an England international.
With the transfer window now closed, Glasner expressed relief at retaining Guehi, stating he never seriously doubted the player would stay.
The manager praised Guehi and teammate Eberechi Eze for their commitment, noting their impressive performances despite limited pre-season preparation.
Glasner highlighted the players’ dedication, mentioning Guehi’s recent demanding schedule of three full matches in a week with minimal pre-season training.
He commended both Guehi and Eze for their passion and desire to contribute to the team, interpreting their efforts as a clear indication of their satisfaction as Crystal Palace players.
