Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace defender and England international, appears poised for an impending exit as January’s transfer window nears. Although Guehi came close to signing for Liverpool last summer, his future at Selhurst Park remains in question.
As Guehi nears his final six months with Crystal Palace, club officials reportedly remain amenable to listening to offers to avoid losing him for free next summer. Already this season he has made an impression, contributing one goal and assist across six Premier League outings.
Tottenham Emerges as Frontrunner for Guehi’s Signature
Tottenham Hotspur is currently seen as a prime candidate to land Guehi, according to insiders within the agent community. Spurs are on the lookout to bolster their defensive line, and Guehi’s situation presents a cost-effective opportunity. Tottenham is banking on Guehi to bring leadership and stability to their defensive ranks.
Despite the strong interest from Tottenham, the competition extends beyond the Premier League. La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are also considering making bids for the promising defender. It is believed that Guehi is intrigued by the prospect of playing in Spain, with a particular openness towards Real Madrid.
Liverpool Still Keen on Palace Defender
Liverpool continues to show interest in Guehi, hoping to secure him as a long-term asset at the back. The Reds are keen to rectify the situation after their initial attempt to sign him fell through last summer. Meanwhile, both Manchester City and Manchester United are keeping tabs on Guehi, with City aiming to rejuvenate their ageing defence and United viewing him as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire.
Crystal Palace have taken an ambitious yet realistic approach in discussing Guehi’s future and are aware of the difficulties involved with contract renewal negotiations. Their initial target figure could range between EUR20-30 million; though due to his short remaining contract period they might reduce that asking price accordingly.
Marc Guehi looks set to leave Crystal Palace as soon as January, as numerous clubs across England and Spain show interest in him as potential suitors for their starting XIs.
