Guehi transfer chatter rises after Chelsea draw

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi's quiet moment with Oliver Glasner after a 0-0 draw with Chelsea sparks transfer talk linking him to Liverpool.

Marc Guehi Snubs Glasner as Liverpool Fans Spot Transfer Clue

Crystal Palace held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge, a result that keeps Palace hopeful and Chelsea unsettled after their Community Shield win. After the final whistle, social media attention focused on Marc Guehi, who appeared to blank Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner as players walked toward the tunnel.

Liverpool fans on X seized on the moment, fueling rumors that Guehi could move to Anfield this transfer window. Palace watchers note that any move for a first-choice centre back would complicate their plans, while Liverpool pursue defensive options ahead of the deadline. The report about Giovanni Leoni moving to Anfield this weekend adds to the sense of a rebuild at the back.

Roy Keane weighed in on Sky Sports by criticizing Glasner for turning a brief moment into a bigger issue, arguing that a tired player should not be put on a public stage. The wider online chatter shows how social media can amplify a single moment into a rallying cry for supporters and a headline for journalists.

This episode illustrates how online chatter can turn a passing gesture into a transfer signal. Fans and pundits read body language as if it were a contract clause, and social media momentum can outpace formal negotiations. For Palace, the risk is distraction during a busy window and potential tension within the squad as links to a rival grow louder. For Liverpool, the transfer narrative matters less than the underlying need for a price, agreement, and timing that satisfy both clubs.

Highlights

As the transfer window tightens, teams will need steadier guidance to separate signal from noise.
