England international of Ivory Coast descent Marc Guehi has emerged as a top transfer target for the Premier League giants Chelsea.
Guehi, who came close to joining Liverpool in the just ended summer window from Crystal Palace is in the final year of his contract at the end, drawing interest from several clubs.
With his contract expiring in summer 2026, the rock-solid defender has attracted interest from Spanish powerhouse, Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Chelsea becoming the latest clubs to express interest.
Chelsea are already planning a summer 2026 acquisition of the talented centre-back to bolster their defense option. The Blues want to sign Guehi as a free agent in the event of contract expiration at Palace.
The reigning FIFA Club World Cup champions are ready to offer Guehi the best deal in an attempt to lure him to Stamford Bridge in 2026.
For Guehi, he was focused solely on a move to Liverpool, and whether he’d consider a switch to Chelsea remains an open question.
The 25-year-old defender has made four appearances in the Premier League for Crystal Palace this season, scoring one goal across the period.
