Marc Guehi’s contract saga has taken another dramatic twist, with fresh reports suggesting the England international has rejected yet another mega offer from Crystal Palace. The club had hoped their latest proposal—believed to be one of the most lucrative ever tabled at Selhurst Park—would move negotiations forward. Instead, it appears to have strengthened Guehi’s stance.
According to sources close to the situation, Guehi is holding out for historic terms, insisting he will only sign a new deal if he becomes the highest earner in the squad and receives the longest contract in the club’s history. Some insiders even claim the 24-year-old is seeking a package so significant that it could rival the kinds of long-term superstar deals seen elsewhere in the Premier League—with comparisons even being drawn, humorously or not, to Erling Haaland-level commitments.
For Palace, the dilemma is clear. Guehi is not only a defensive leader but one of the most valuable players in the squad, and losing him would be a major blow. Yet offering a record-breaking contract could reshape the club’s entire wage structure.
The standoff continues, and with interest reportedly growing from top-six clubs, the pressure on Palace is rising fast. Fans can only watch and hope the situation resolves before the summer window explodes into chaos.
