Manchester United is actively seeking a new central defender, with Marc Guehi reportedly on their radar for a potential transfer. Consequently, according to the Telegraph, Crystal Palace has initiated a search for alternative replacements, with newly appointed manager Oliver Glasner likely to explore options in Europe to bolster the squad. The report suggests that Palace may seek a fee surpassing their club record of £50 million ($64m), set by the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka to United.
Guehi, who joined Palace from Chelsea for £18m ($23m) in 2021, has made a strong impression and cemented his place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad. Unsurprisingly, his performances have attracted interest from other Premier League clubs. Alongside United, Liverpool reportedly hold an interest in the 23-year-old, while Arsenal and Tottenham have previously kept tabs on him.
United’s interest in Guehi is believed to be influenced by potential incoming sporting director Dan Ashworth, who is said to admire the player. Ashworth, formerly of Newcastle, is currently on gardening leave, and United’s pursuit of Guehi may depend on his arrival before the summer transfer window.
Whether Guehi ultimately joins United or not, the club is poised for a significant defensive overhaul this summer. Raphael Varane appears set for a move to Saudi Arabia, while Harry Maguire has been consistently linked with a departure. Additionally, 36-year-old Jonny Evans is unlikely to extend his contract, and former Palace player Wan-Bissaka could also be on the move at the end of the season.
