Chelsea are plotting a clever move to bring Marc Guehi back to Stamford Bridge, tabling a £50million package that includes Trevor Chalobah to tempt Crystal Palace.
The Eagles, who rate their England star at £70million, might find the deal hard to refuse as Guehi’s contract nears its final year.
Four years after Guehi’s £18million switch to Palace, Chelsea see the 24-year-old as a cornerstone for their defense.
Chalobah, shining on loan at Selhurst Park and valued at £30million, sweetens the offer, potentially balancing the books for both sides. Palace, bracing for Guehi’s exit, could see this as a smart way to reinvest.
Marc Guehi has made 29 appearances, scored three goals and assisted two in the Premier League this season. He is also a fan favorite and a key player at Crystal Palace.
The deal’s wheels are turning, with Chelsea banking on Guehi’s familiarity and form to bolster their backline, while Palace weigh the benefits of cash and a proven talent in return.
