Marc Guéhi on his way out, alarm bells ringing at Sporting | OneFootball

Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Marc Guéhi will be leaving Crystal Palace soon. The Austrian coach of the Premier League team revealed that the situation is now unlikely to change, in news that could impact the future of Ousmane Diomande at Sporting—Zeno Debast could also be involved in this equation.

The English defender, who is also an international for the national team, has been one of the team's standout players, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, he has already made it clear that he will not renew, confirming his departure at the end of the year. The player was widely discussed in the last transfer window, with Crystal Palace mainly eyeing Ousmane Diomande as his replacement. Marc Guéhi ultimately did not leave, which also kept the Ivorian at Sporting.

This time, the situation is different, as Oliver Glasner revealed: "I think Marc has already told us that he does not want to sign a new contract, so he will leave us next year. The club wanted him to stay, offered him a new contract, but he said: 'No, I want to try something different.' And that's normal."

"Now we have to focus on dealing with this situation. What is the next step? That’s what we are discussing now," the Crystal Palace coach explained. What follows could indeed be a renewed pursuit of Ousmane Diomande, the centre-back from Sporting.

At the moment, it is still unknown whether Crystal Palace intends to sell the player in January to try to receive some millions for his transfer, or if the Premier League club plans to keep Marc Guéhi until the end of the season. In any case, Ousmane Diomande is likely to once again be one of the names mentioned as a replacement for the English international.
