Evann Guessand’s loan agreement from Aston Villa to Crystal Palace includes specific performance clauses that could lead to a permanent transfer. The Ivory Coast international joined the Eagles on loan in January, shortly after arriving at Villa Park last summer.

Performance Milestones for Permanent Move

Guessand has already contributed significantly, scoring twice—once in the Premier League and once in the Europa Conference League—while providing one assist. Details show that reaching eight goal involvements triggers an automatic permanent transfer to Palace for £28 million.

If Guessand falls short of that threshold, Crystal Palace holds an option to secure him permanently for £28.5 million. The forward has agreed to a four-year contract extending to 2030 in the event of a permanent switch.

Guessand’s Impact at Palace

Since his arrival, Guessand has demonstrated his potential with key contributions in competitive matches. These clauses provide Palace with flexibility while offering Villa a structured exit pathway based on performance.
