Crystal Palace are bracing themselves for a major summer sale as Manchester United line up a staggering £65 million move for defender Marc Guehi.
The 23-year-old England international has emerged as one of Erik ten Hag's top defensive targets, with United ready to test Palace's resolve with a substantial offer.
Palace's Stance on Guehi's Future
While Selhurst Park officials are reluctant to lose their defensive lynchpin, there's an acceptance that Guehi's performances for both club and country have made a big-money transfer inevitable. Palace value the former Chelsea academy product at around £65m - a figure that would represent a significant profit on their £18m investment in 2021.
United's Defensive Revamp
Manchester United's interest comes as part of their broader defensive overhaul, with Guehi seen as the ideal long-term partner for Lisandro Martínez. The Red Devils are particularly impressed by Guehi's composure on the ball and leadership qualities, which saw him captain Palace on several occasions last season.
Guehi's Rising Stock
Since joining Palace, Guehi has developed into one of the Premier League's most consistent centre-backs, earning seven England caps in the process. His performances at Euro 2024 further enhanced his reputation, making him one of the most sought-after English defenders in the current market.
The potential deal could have ripple effects across the Premier League, with Palace already identifying potential replacements should Guehi depart South London this summer.
