Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly eyeing a move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, setting the stage for a potential transfer battle, as per the Times.
The 23-year-old England international has attracted interest from both clubs after impressive performances this season, with United particularly keen on bolstering their defensive line in the upcoming transfer window.
Guehi’s standout displays have not gone unnoticed, with scouts from both Manchester United and Arsenal closely monitoring his progress. United, in particular, are prioritizing defensive reinforcements and see Guehi as a prime target to strengthen their backline. Palace, however, won’t let him go easily, demanding a fee in excess of £55 million, potentially breaking the club’s transfer record set by Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s move to United in 2019. Moreover, Chelsea, who have a buy-back clause on Guehi from when he moved to Palace in 2021, could also enter the fray.
Despite undergoing knee surgery in February, Guehi remains a sought-after asset, with hopes of securing a spot in the England squad for the upcoming European Championship. With 22 Premier League appearances under his belt this season, his potential addition could significantly bolster the defensive options for either United or Arsenal.
