Marc Guehi is ready to shut down his contract and transfer Crystal Palace for free next summer, Talksport understands.
Liverpool and Newcastle both keep an eye on the English defender Guehi.

The European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich would also be interested in taking up the 24-year-old as a free agent in one year.
The English international came from Chelsea in 2021 for only £ 18 million to Palace.
He has become a key man for the Eagles and led her in her first big trophy this season.
Guehi raised the FA Cup together with former captain Joel Ward to consolidate his legacy of the palace.
However, the rival of the Premier League has long been interested in the central defender.
In Newcastle, four bids for Guehi were rejected last summer, the last in the region of 65 million GBP.
Tottenham saw a bid of 70 million GBP in the winter transmission window.
Palace will probably have to redeem his captain this summer so as not to lose anything in 12 months.
Liverpool are strong competitors and could make an offer as soon as they sell Jarrell Quansah for £ 30 million to Bayer Leverkusen.
The only stumbling block could be the presence of Ibrahima Konate and the 33-year-old Virgil van Dijk, who has just signed a new contract.

Konate enters the last year of his contract and Real Madrid was responsible for the possible free transmission goal next summer.
The sale of Quansah would leave Arne Slot briefly in the defense and the signing of the former Chelsea man would be another major declaration of intent.
You have already signed Florian Wirtz in a British record contract that is worth more than 116 million GBP.
Milos Kerkez will also sign from Bournemouth for £ 40 million.
Newcastle is also on the market for a new central defender with Dan Burn, Fabian Schar and Jamaal Lascelles in the thirty.
In the meantime, Tottenham was able to check his interest again if it can decide to sell Cristian Romero, who was targeted by Atletico Madrid.

Tony Cascarino’s judgment
The former Chelsea striker and the moderator of Talksport, Tony Cascarino, made his thoughts about the Guehi situation at the weekend.
I always had that as a player when I signed this contract when I have to honor him. I have no right to go.
But if I want to go a year early, it is the club that decides what they are worth and what they will take for them. So it doesn’t like that you don’t like it.
If you are Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace landed in a great season last year and won the trophy. It served them for another year.
He could have the feeling that if a fair deal comes in, let me go. I had this great season with a palace.
Guehi probably wants to play for a club that plays Champions League football because he plays for England and be in the Champions League football and would like to play at the highest level for the clubs who have a challenge to win the title.

He will probably have the feeling that it is time to go for the Palace to go right.
But then he cannot argue in the same way that they start digging their heels, and it becomes lively and a bit nervous between the two.
He can play absolutely for Liverpool or Newcastle. I have no concerns about his skills.
I think he’s an upper middle half.
His pace is good, he is decent enough on the ball, he always wants it. I always had the feeling that there are not many people I gave Marc Guehi a real run.
When he came to the English team, he also did a great job. So he’s probably half of the now England.
