Guehi’s future sparks transfer battle

Arsenal’s interest in Guehi

Arsenal is keen on acquiring Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace to bolster their defense. Despite possessing several skilled defenders, Guehi is seen as a strategic addition to the team’s backline.

Competition for Guehi

Marc Guehi has garnered interest not only from Arsenal but also from Manchester City and Liverpool. With his contract expiring next summer, these clubs view him as an ideal candidate to strengthen their squads as the January transfer cycle approaches.

Manchester City’s bid

Reports suggest that Manchester City is preparing a bid for Guehi in the upcoming transfer window. Former City financial adviser Stefan Borson estimates that a fee of around €28 million would be acceptable for Crystal Palace, especially since Guehi could leave for free in the summer.

Challenges ahead

While Arsenal is interested, there are challenges in enticing Guehi. The defender might be cautious about joining a team where fierce competition for a starting position exists. Simultaneously, other clubs might aim to finalize a deal before the current transfer window shuts.

Future prospects

Marc Guehi has been one of the standout centre-backs in the Premier League over the past two and a half years, catching the attention of Europe’s elite teams. Although a move abroad is possible, Liverpool is reportedly leading the race, nearly signing him last summer. Crystal Palace’s manager, Oliver Glasner, has acknowledged that financial factors could play a significant role in the decision regarding Guehi’s future.
