Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Newcastle United are preparing to compete for the signature of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old defender is expected to be one of the most sought-after names in the market, as speculation mounts over his future at Selhurst Park.
Guehi’s current contract runs until the summer of 2026, but Palace are increasingly facing the prospect of losing one of their key players either for a significant fee in the coming months or for free when his contract expires.
Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, before moving to England at a young age, Guehi has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most reliable centre-backs in recent seasons.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle are among the leading clubs pushing hard to secure the services of the Ivorian-born defender.
With Guehi showing little inclination to extend his stay at Crystal Palace, the South London club may be forced to cash in this summer to avoid losing him for nothing later.
Newcastle United previously attempted to sign Guehi last summer but were unsuccessful in their efforts.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in the player is notable given that he spent his formative years in their academy system before moving to Crystal Palace in search of first-team opportunities.
Tottenham are also reported to be serious contenders, with manager Ange Postecoglou keen to bolster his defensive options ahead of next season.
With Guehi’s reputation continuing to rise, a bidding war between the three Premier League clubs could soon be underway.
Crystal Palace are bracing themselves for offers, knowing that Guehi’s departure would represent a major loss after his impressive leadership and performances over the past few campaigns.
