The amount of money this guy's about to earn is honestly outrageous."With the signing on fee, you haven't got to pay £40m or £50m for a player like Marc Guehi, instead of that, you can say, 'Give me a signing on fee of £30m and we'll call it quits.' It's crazy money."Palace boss Oliver Glasner has already said he expects Guehi to leave the club on a free transfer after disclosing that the player has no plans to renew his contract.Speaking in October, the Eagles manager said: "I think Marc has already told us that he doesn't sign a new contract, so he will leave next year. But he said, 'No, I want to make something different.' And that's normal.
Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Arne Slot has previously kept his cards close to his chest on whether he will make any additions in January after admitting the Reds won't have endless amounts of money to spend.He said: "Some teams have so many [options] but most other teams do not. The outside world wants to believe we have unlimited money, but that is not true."You insiders know – and you are the only ones because the outside world only talks about our spending – what we have brought in (money) to spend."That is the way we work over here.
