Palace stars set for shop window after FA Cup final

This afternoon’s FA Cup final could prove both a blessing and a curse for Crystal Palace. Should they down Pep Guardiola's Man City and claim a first-ever major honour, their star players will be more highly coveted than ever.

The South London outfit are already likely to cash in on Marc Guehi this summer after he came close to a move to Newcastle last summer. With his contract expiring at the end of the 2025-26 season, Palace will want to cash in rather than lose him on a free transfer should he decide against extending his deal.

Also likely to draw interest are Adam Wharton and Ebere Eze, who have played crucial roles in Palace’s run to the final.

The final kicks off at 4:30pm BST at Wembley Stadium.
