Crystal Palace Defender Marc Guehi was close to the accession to Liverpool on the Deadline Day at the end of this summer’s transfer window, and despite a £ 35 million agreement In place, the Eagles pulled the plug at the last hour due to the non -signing of a replacement.
Guehi will stay in Selhurst Park in the last year of his contract, although he had undergone a medical with the Reds, but he will be a free agent next year and he has already decided to put pen on paper on a new deal with Crystal Palace.
According to TBR FootballChelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all ready to compete with Liverpool for Marc Guehi’s signature next year with a free transfer for a player of his caliber who is too good to reject.
Liverpool is expected to return for the English international, since Arne Slot is looking for a greater depth at the back because of doubts about the future of Ibrahima Konate, in addition to wanting a long -term replacement for Virgil van Dijk, who in July of this year became 34.
Chelsea can have the most realistic chance of Guehi
Chelsea will make the most realistic opportunity to sign Marc Guehi, if the central defender is indeed open to reach other clubs, apart from Liverpool, since he had already agreed to personal conditions with the Premier League leaders.
Enzo Maresca kept up to signed a centerback to replace Levi Colwill at the backend of the summer after his ACL injury, and if the blues do not do too well in the coming months, a new acquisition in the winter could be on the maps.
Marc Guehi is perhaps open to the prospect of joining his former club, where he spent his youth career, while Crystal Palace could also cash him in for a measly amount instead of losing him six months later as a free agent.
Liverpool would want to fight with Chelsea, regardless of whether they are approaching Guehi in the winter or next summer, but the Londoners would be better prepared to offer the player and potentially Crystal Palace with more attractive financial terms.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will also be attentive to the situation of the 25-year-old, but it is still to be seen whether they seriously consider his transfer, since there is already sufficient depth in Guehi’s position in both squadrons.
United could at best look for a secondary option, so Guehi may not be too attracted by the prospect of coming to them, while Spurs already has five central defenders and would be more inclined to renew other parts of their team.
That said, all things point to Chelsea and Liverpool who fight each other for Marc Guehi, and it would not be brash to think that the blues would take care of their opportunities to set up the Reds’s attempt.
