Arsenal preparing transfer bid to sign Marc Guehi amid Chelsea interest

According to reports, Arsenal is interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Although the Gunners are still in the transfer market and have not yet signed a player, they are anticipated to add more players in the upcoming weeks. Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate complimented England defender Marc Guehi for his “exceptional” performance at Euro 2024.

In the face of transfer interest from larger teams this summer, the Crystal Palace star has really come through for his country in this tournament. Sources recently informed CaughtOffside of Arsenal’s interest in Crystal Palace star defender Marc Guehi, with Manchester United leading the chase for the player’s signature, and Chelsea emerging as the second selection.

With two clean sheets in three group games, the center-back has been an absolute revelation for England in their Euro 2024 campaign. Guehi has won praise for his smooth adaptation to international football, even though the team has come under fire.

Arsenal told to pay 60m for Marc Guehi

Arsenal is reportedly pursuing a deal for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as a backup plan in the event that their pursuit of Calafiori proves fruitless, according to Football London. There are rumors, meanwhile, that the Eagles will ask for more than £60 million in exchange for the gifted center back.

The 23-year-old Guehi has advanced significantly during his time at Selhurst Park, drawing praise from some of the top teams in Europe with his performances. But because they also need reinforcements in other areas, Mikel Arteta’s team is unlikely to spend £60 million on Guehi.

To stay in compliance with the financial fair play regulations, Premier League clubs have also been cautious about overspending on new hires.
