CONFIRMED:✅ A £50 million Chelsea transfer target is likely to turn down a new contract to remain at their current club.
Despite the Blues making an early bid during the summer transfer window, it seems the player had already made up his mind about his club choice.
According to reports, Marc Guehi is hesitant to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace due to significant interest from Chelsea.
Guehi could be an ideal successor to Chelsea legend Thiago Silva, especially since he has shown interest in a possible move. His reluctance to renew his contract with Palace suggests he might be Chelsea’s next signing this summer.
However, Manchester United and Arsenal are also keen on the England international, and Chelsea’s delay in making bids might cause them to miss out.
Given Guehi’s impressive performances, it’s no surprise that multiple clubs are vying for his signature this summer. He began his career at Stamford Bridge before transferring to Palace permanently in 2021, and now Chelsea is interested in bringing him back.
The center-back has excelled for England in their Euro 2024 campaign, helping secure two clean sheets in three group games. Despite team criticism, Guehi has been praised for his smooth transition to international football.
If Chelsea manages to sign Marc Guehi, it would enhance Enzo Maresca’s squad depth this season and potentially lead to more trophies for the Blues.
