Crystal Palace supporters have expressed their admiration for centre-back Marc Guehi following his recent comments reaffirming his commitment to the club. Amidst growing transfer interest from Premier League giants Liverpool and Newcastle United, Guehi emphasized his love for Crystal Palace and his desire to stay and grow with the team.
In an exclusive interview with The Athletic, Guehi addressed the ongoing speculation about a potential summer move, stating, “Crystal Palace is home. I love this club, the fans, and everything it stands for. I want to stay here, grow here, and most importantly, captain this team into European competition.”
Guehi’s passionate declaration has sparked an outpouring of admiration from the Palace faithful, with many hailing him as a symbol of loyalty in an increasingly commercialized football landscape. Fans have taken to social media to praise Guehi’s integrity and leadership, with one fan describing him as “the true Captain Fantastic — a loyal player and a true lover of the club.”
The 24-year-old defender has been a rock at the back for Palace since arriving from Chelsea in 2021, quickly becoming one of the club’s most influential figures. He has worn the captain’s armband on numerous occasions, earning the respect of teammates and supporters alike.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has also weighed in on the situation, praising Guehi’s commitment and leadership. “Marc is an exceptional leader. His commitment inspires everyone at the club — players, staff, and fans. We’re building something special here, and he’s a central part of it.”
With Guehi’s contract running until 2026, Crystal Palace’s hierarchy has consistently rebuffed advances from top clubs, insisting he is not for sale. While interest from Liverpool and Newcastle United intensified this summer following his standout performances for England in Euro 2024, Guehi’s recent comments have cooled speculation.
As the team builds under Glasner’s management, optimism is growing among the Selhurst Park faithful. Palace finished 9th in the Premier League last season and are targeting a strong push for European qualification in 2025-26. With Guehi at the helm, fans are excited to see what the future holds for the club.
