Liverpool join Man United, Arsenal and Tottenham in race for Crystal Palace's Center Back.
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is attracting interest from a growing number of clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. The 22-year-old England international could command a price tag of up to £50 million. However, Liverpool's pursuit of Guehi may be hindered by budget constraints, as they prioritize strengthening their midfield this summer.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal are in need of defensive reinforcements, with United manager Erik ten Hag and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta looking to bolster their respective backlines. Arsenal's defensive vulnerabilities were exposed during the title race when William Saliba suffered an injury. Guehi, a former Chelsea player who has earned three caps for England, has consistently performed well for Palace, helping the team secure a comfortable mid-table position after Roy Hodgson returned to replace Patrick Vieira.
Palace's decision on Guehi's future, as well as that of other players, will likely depend on the appointment of their new manager. While Guehi has been a mainstay in the Palace side this season, completing the full 90 minutes in all 36 Premier League games he was available for, the potential high price tag attached to him could tempt the club into considering a sale. Guehi's current contract runs until 2026, allowing Palace to command a higher transfer fee.
In other transfer news, Palace is reportedly interested in making an offer to 28-year-old Jefferson Lerma, who will become a free agent this summer after his contract with Bournemouth expires. Additionally, Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland, currently on loan at Manchester United, is engaged in discussions with Rangers as he has shown a willingness to adjust his wages to fit within their structure.
While Fenerbahce has recently made an offer to Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, the player has more lucrative options to consider. Palace will conclude their season with a home match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. The club is likely to make decisions regarding player futures and potential transfers after the season ends and their new manager is appointed.
