Guehi to Liverpool Jan?

I've seen reports (twice now) that friends/people close to Guehi have ruled out any chance of Marc now leaving in January claiming should even an offer come in that Palace want to accept in January he is now apparently decided on rejecting any move until the summer when he be able to do what he wanted to do all along. Choose his own club and destiny.

He may still go to Liverpool. If he does it will be because thats where he has chosen to go and it will be as a free agent in the summer. Good luck to him I say. I know the club would have wanted a fee for him but we paid £18m and got World class performances from him for 5 years. He owes us nothing.

And made Chelsea look like mugs for selling him: A. At all and B. Cheaply.
And now they won't get any sell on bunce either.

Ultimately any player who runs down his contract does so to maximise his next contract - wages and signing on fee.
There is of course a risk as he could lose form or get injured in the months prior to his current contract ending.

This strategy would have been discussed and agreed with his agent, probably a few years ago.

When Olise signed a new contract with a higher release clause this was clearly the Palace approach to at least get decent money when a player left. Eze's contract followed similar lines a few months later. Guehi could easily have followed and could have doubled his wages over the last 2 years (from £50k to £100k p.w) .

I suspect his agent has told him he will get a minimum of £200k a week if he sits on his hands. I also suspect that is why the Liverpool offer was reasonably low this summer as his agent was insisting on £200k wages. Over 5 years that's a big investment on top of the transfer fee.

Come January i suspect his agent will ask for £250k a week as he will know that will be possible if Marc was to leave on a free.

For this reason any offer we get for Marc will be on the low side. £20m max IMHO. Also, Marc is perfectly entitled to turn a move down.
 
If we don't sign Guehi's replacement in early January that really will be criminal.

He's not going to stay with all these top clubs after him so the only question is does he go in January or the summer.

Either way we need to get his replacement in now.

Before his injury, Riad was a very, very good Central Defender, lets hope he can recapture the form he showed in La Liga with Betis, he is still only 22.

I think that is a good summary but Marc may also take into account the opportunities for silverware this season.
However, little will be determined by the end of January. The Carabao Cup finalists will be set but we already know that both Palace and Liverpool cannot contest it as they meet in the next round. The 24th round of the PL is played on the 31st January so there is still a big chunk of the season to go. It is hard to see that Liverpool would be definitely out of the race at that stage - but you never know with their defensive issues. The 3rd round of the FA Cup will have been played
In Europe, the 9-24 knockout round will not have been played so both Liverpool and Palace are still likely to be in contention in their competitions but with many rounds still to play
