Marc Guehi has told Crystal Palace he will not sign a new deal at the club.

England centre-back Guehi almost joined Liverpool on transfer deadline-day last month, but Palace pulled the plug at the last minute.

It meant the Eagles missed out on a sizeable fee and, with Guehi now in the final 12 months of his contract, boss Oliver Glasner has revealed the defender has already informed the club this will be his last season at Selhurst Park.

Glasner told reporters: ‘I think Marc has already told us that he doesn’t sign a new contract, so he will leave next year.

‘The club wanted (him to stay). They offered Marc a new contract, but he said, ‘No, I want to make something different’, and that’s normal.

‘And for us, it’s how we can deal with this situation. (What) is the best way to get this next step done? And that’s all about how we are talking together.’

Guehi has played 167 times for Palace since he joined from Chelsea in 2021 and captained the club to FA Cup success in May.

The 25-year-old could be sold in January or leave on a free at the end of the season.

Guehi can agree a pre-contract with foreign clubs from January 1.

Slot, meanwhile, admits they are well aware of the scrutiny on his side after three successive defeats, but does not believe the players “wake up at night” worrying about it.

After reeling off seven straight wins, they then lost three times in the week before the international break.

Slot admits having almost two weeks without being able to work with his players has had positives and negatives, but as they seek to avoid losing four in a row for the first time since November 2014, he does not believe it is weighing heavily on his squad.

‘These players might need me – but I don’t think they need me – to tell them what has happened,’ he said ahead of the visit of arch-rivals Manchester United, against whom they are looking to set a club-record 10 matches without defeat.

‘Results don’t lie, if you lose three in a row we have to do better.

‘But I think these players that have experienced so many things don’t wake up at night thinking ‘Oh, we lost three times’.

‘We need to be aware of that and we are aware of that and we need to react to that, but we have to give the same reaction if we win three times in a row and Manchester United is on the fixture list.

‘But maybe if you lose three times you are hoping for that spark or that one or two per cent more, not only from us but from our fans on Sunday.’

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge believes Florian Wirtz would have been ‘better off’ joining Bayern Munich instead of Liverpool.

Bayern appeared to be in the driving seat to sign the 22-year-old in the summer transfer window before Liverpool agreed a £116 million deal with Bayer Leverkusen.

Wirtz established himself as one of the best players in the Bundesliga at Leverkusen with 21 goals and 25 assists in his last two seasons.

But the Germany international has struggled to make the same impact in his initial phase at Liverpool with no goals or assists in six appearances so far.

‘I have to honestly say, I still feel sorry for Florian Wirtz because I think the player would be better off at Bayern Munich than at Liverpool,’ Former Bayern CEO Rummenigge, who is now on the club’s supervisory board, told SportBild.

‘We could have signed Woltemade. But I also have to say, Bayern Munich are wise enough not to engage in every kind of financial madness.

‘I’ve always said we want to achieve sporting success, but please, in a serious and financially sound way. We have a top team, this year as well. And when the three players who are currently injured come back soon, then we’ll have a great team.’

Meanwhile, Wirtz is adamant that he will not panic after his low-key start to life at Liverpool.

‘Yes, of course I would have liked to have scored a goal or collected a few points. But no matter what anyone says, I’m staying cool,’ Writz told Sky Germany.

‘I know what I’m capable of, and I also know that I’ll really bring it to the pitch at some point, so I’m just staying cool. That’s a good advice.

‘I don’t want to hear it all the time, “Give it time, give it time.” Instead, I simply try to do better each time than before. And sometimes there are phases where things might not go well for you; I haven’t had that very often in my career.

‘Once I get through it – that’s perhaps harsh, because I’m not playing badly, I just haven’t gotten the points yet – it will come eventually, and then everything will be fine.

‘It’s no secret that I’d like to have more so far, but I’m patient, and as I just said, I know full well that I can play football well. Sooner or later, I’m sure that will return to normal.’
