Crystal Palace’s star defender, Marc Guehi, is eyeing a move away from the club, attracting attention from Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal. With Guehi eager for a transfer this summer, both clubs are poised for a bidding war to secure his signature.
Reports from The Times suggest that Crystal Palace anticipates losing the 23-year-old central defender, who has been a standout performer over the past two seasons. Despite remaining with Palace last summer, it’s now anticipated that Guehi will depart in the upcoming transfer window.
Guehi, valued at over £55 million ($68.8m), has garnered interest due to his high potential and remaining two years on his contract. Manchester United, seeking defensive reinforcements, may face stiff competition from Arsenal, as both clubs look to bolster their squads.
Having progressed through Chelsea’s youth system, Guehi joined Palace three years ago for £18 million ($22.5m). While Chelsea retains the right to match offers, a reunion seems unlikely.
As Guehi recuperates from knee surgery, his aim is to return before the season’s end, harboring hopes of representing England at Euro 2024.
