The summer transfer window is just around the corner and for Crystal Palace, it may represent a time of change.
With Oliver Glasner at the helm, Palace may be set for a transformation to the squad to prepare for a first full season in the Premier League.
The Crystal Palace manager has impressed in his short tenure so far, enjoying a winning run that saw some incredible performances along the way.
Glasner has managed to get the most out of some stars at his disposal, however, it has led to plenty of talk surrounding an exit for a few of them.
The latest to be touted with a switch is Marc Guehi, as the Crystal Palace defender courts interest heading into the summer.
A recent report has claimed that Guehi wants to leave Crystal Palace in the transfer window, which will prompt a slight overhaul in the defensive line.
So with that said, here’s a look at three options that could replace the England international if he leaves in the coming weeks.
Chadi Riad
One of the main candidates to replace Guehi in the summer transfer window could be young Real Betis defender Chadi Riad.
The 20-year-old has impressed since joining Los Verdiblancos from Barcelona last summer, making 26 La Liga appearances and helping his side to seventh in the division.
Riad has been linked with a £13million transfer to Crystal Palace over the summer as one of the first deals completed.
The move would present a clever opportunity to land a player with plenty of room to grow, whilst bolstering the options that would suit Glasner’s back-three formation.
Ronnie Edwards
Sticking with the theme of landing young defenders, Peterborough United’s Ronnie Edwards is another option to consider.
The 21-year-old played nearly every minute of the Posh’s League One campaign, guiding them towards the play-offs but ultimately missing out on promotion to the second tier.
With an ability on the ball, Edwards is a model modern centre-back, while having plenty more room to grow.
Moving from League One to the Premier League is a big leap, but it may prove to be a smart signing for years to come.
Maxence Lacroix
The third and final option that Palace could land to replace Guehi is Wolfsburg star Maxence Lacroix.
At just 24 years old, Lacroix has already stacked up four full seasons of Bundesliga football, with plenty of experience to show for it.
The Frenchman is quick to press the opposition, with enough pace to make a recovery run if needed.
With just one year left on Lacroix’s contract, any move could prove to be a bargain for a player who still has plenty of room to grow.
That is without mentioning the fact that the defender has already played for Glasner during his time at Wolfsburg.
