Marc Guehi ignores Oliver Glasner after Palace draw at Chelsea

Crystal Palace drew a goalless match with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. A video circulating online appears to show captain Marc Guehi walking toward the tunnel as Oliver Glasner calls him over, leaving the Palace manager looking disappointed on the touchline. Sky Sports footage shows Glasner turning to clap the visiting supporters after Guehi heads for the tunnel. Roy Keane later offered his view, saying a postmatch chat is best done inside.

Off the pitch, Guehi is in the final year of his Palace contract and has not shown a clear willingness to sign a new deal, according to talkSPORT. That has raised questions about whether the club will cash in this summer or risk losing him for free next year. Liverpool have been linked with the defender, while Palace chairman Steve Parish has acknowledged that a deal would have to be reached or the club could face the loss of a player of Guehi's calibre. The same day, Eberechi Eze was seen applauding supporters as transfer talk about a move to Tottenham heats up, with Glasner insisting it was not a goodbye wave.

"No."

Glasner on whether Eze's gesture was a goodbye wave

"I don't know, but I think it was not a goodbye wave."

"For players of that calibre to leave on a free, it's a problem for us unfortunately."

Steve Parish on Guehi's contract situation

Moments like this highlight how a club negotiates between discipline and ambition. The image of a captain not engaging after a tough game shifts attention from the pitch to the transfer market and the contract clock. The story shows leadership being tested when money and minutes threaten to outweigh pure performance.

Palace must decide how to keep a core piece while pursuing a plan for the next phase. A potential Guehi sale could fund new signings or hamper team chemistry if it comes with a mismatch in minutes and role. The window will reveal whether the club can align on a shared vision and maintain stability for a squad that has won trophies in the past.

Highlights

  • Tunnels talk louder than the pitch
  • A captain's value is tested when the clock ticks
  • Contract talks can steal a moment from the game
  • Transfer season makes every moment on the pitch count

Financial and public reaction risk around Guehi and Eze

Guehi's contract and potential departure could affect Palace's transfer budgets and long term planning. Rumors around Eze and other moves add to investor and fan scrutiny and may trigger backlash if plans are unclear.

The summer window will test how Palace balances ambition with stability.
