Premier League manager confirms Real Madrid target will leave in 2026 – ‘Will not sign a new contract’
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has officially confirmed that club captain Marc Guehi, a Real Madrid target, will leave Selhurst Park at the end of the current season.
The England international, whose contract expires on June 30, 2026, has decided not to renew his deal, making him one of the most sought-after free agents in next summer’s transfer market.
Speaking at his press conference, Glasner revealed, “Marc Guehi has already told us that he will not be signing a new contract, so he will be leaving next year.
“Not only I, but the whole club wanted Marc to sign a new contract, and we offered it to him, but he wants something different.”
The confirmation ends months of speculation around Guehi’s future. The 25-year-old centre-back, who captained Crystal Palace to their first-ever FA Cup and Community Shield titles, will now be free to choose his next destination.
Real Madrid and Liverpool among favourites
As reported in the past, Real Madrid and Liverpool are among the leading contenders to secure Guehi’s signature, as both European giants see him as a valuable long-term defensive reinforcement.
However, they will face strong competition from Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan, all of whom have added the Englishman to their transfer lists.
Guehi’s situation has been brewing since last summer, when he came close to joining Liverpool.
The deal was agreed upon, but Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish blocked the move at the last moment.
Despite that setback, Liverpool remain interested, especially as they work on renewing Ibrahima Konate’s contract, which also expires in 2026.
Real Madrid’s strategic interest
For Real Madrid, Guehi represents a potential option for the future as they continue to plan for defensive reinforcements in 2026.
The Spanish giants view him as a “plan B” in case their top targets remain unavailable or extend their contracts elsewhere.
As the 2025–26 season progresses, Guehi’s performances will be closely monitored. With his contract running down, the race for his signature is expected to intensify and securing him on a free transfer next summer could prove to be one of the smartest moves.

Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
