Real Madrid are leading the race to sign England star Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. The 23-year-old center-back, valued at £50 million, is also being monitored by Barcelona, Juventus, Arsenal, and Tottenham. With two years remaining on his Selhurst Park contract, Palace may be tempted to cash in, similar to their £50 million deal with Bayern Munich for Michael Olise.

Guehi, a Chelsea academy graduate, has impressed in his first major tournament for England at this summer’s Euros. His performances against Serbia and Denmark showcased his anticipation, passing, and tackling skills. Notably, he assisted Jude Bellingham’s last-gasp overhead kick against Slovakia. Real Madrid is seeking a center-back following Nacho’s departure to Saudi side Al Qadsiah.

Manchester United are also interested but are currently focused on Bayern Munich’s Matthijs De Ligt. Guehi’s potential transfer could be influenced by Palace’s desire to avoid losing him for free in two years. Despite missing England’s quarter-final match against Switzerland due to suspension, Guehi’s impressive form has made him a sought-after target in the upcoming transfer window.
