Crystal Palace’s management are increasingly optimistic about retaining both Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi for the 2025/26 season despite persistent interest from top Premier League clubs.
Eze, who has Nigerian heritage, and Guehi, born in Côte d’Ivoire, have both been heavily linked with moves away from Selhurst Park this summer.
Arsenal have identified Eze as a key attacking target, while Guehi is attracting strong interest from Newcastle United and Liverpool.
However, a report by The Sun indicates that both players appear more likely to remain in South London as the transfer window enters its final weeks.
Palace are reportedly demanding high fees that have so far deterred potential suitors, with the club unwilling to lower their valuation for either player.
Marc Guehi’s current contract runs until the end of the season, but Palace are reportedly prepared to keep him even if it means losing him on a free next summer.
In Eze’s case, the midfielder remains a central figure in manager Oliver Glasner’s plans, and the club views him as irreplaceable in their push for a top-half finish.
The 27-year-old playmaker and the 25-year-old centre-back have been among Palace’s standout performers in recent seasons, earning consistent England call-ups as a result.
The club’s decision to hold firm could prove pivotal to maintaining their momentum under Glasner’s leadership.
