Chelsea have been handed a major boost in their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, as the England international is reportedly open to a return to Stamford Bridge if his transfer fee becomes more affordable.
Chelsea are preparing for another active summer transfer window as they look to strengthen their defence, with Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi emerging as a key target. The 23-year-old, who left Chelsea in 2021, is also attracting interest from Newcastle United, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool. However, journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Guehi is keen to remain in London and would be open to rejoining Chelsea if a deal can be struck.
Despite exploring a January move, Chelsea were put off by Palace’s high valuation. However, if the price drops to around £50 million due to Guehi’s contractual situation, the Blues are expected to reignite their pursuit. With Wesley Fofana still sidelined, securing defensive reinforcements is likely to be a priority for Enzo Maresca’s side.
