Crystal Palace chairman, Steve Parish, recently provided an update on the future of defender Marc Guehi in an interview with Sky Sports at the Premier League’s launch event. Despite heavy interest from Newcastle, Parish emphasized that the club is not yet at a point where a decision needs to be made regarding Guehi’s potential transfer.
Parish highlighted that no club has met the valuation for Guehi, stating that if other teams want a player of his caliber, they must be willing to pay accordingly. He expressed the club’s fondness for Guehi and mentioned that starting the season with him would make the team stronger. However, Parish acknowledged that Guehi, who has rejected contract offers from Crystal Palace, may consider a move if it is in the best interest of all parties involved.
While discussing the upcoming season, Parish expressed his ambition of guiding Crystal Palace to Europe but also stressed the importance of being realistic. He noted that the competition in the Premier League is tough and that every game presents a challenge. Parish emphasized the need for a strong start to the season, focusing on building momentum and finishing the season on a positive note.
In addition to addressing Guehi’s future and the club’s aspirations for the season, Parish highlighted the importance of staying clear of injuries and finalizing the squad during the transfer window. He emphasized the need for a settled squad and maintaining a positive yet realistic outlook throughout the season.
Crystal Palace is set to kick off their Premier League campaign against Brentford on Sunday, and fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead as the club aims to achieve their goals on the field. As the team navigates the challenges of the upcoming season, supporters can expect a competitive and determined effort from Crystal Palace to make their mark in the Premier League.
