Man Utd and Liverpool join Arsenal in Marc Guehi transfer battle but price-tag could scupper summer move
MANCHESTER UNITED and Liverpool have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race to sign Marc Guehi.
The Crystal Palace centre-back is hot property as we hurtle towards the summer transfer window.
Marc Guehi joined Crystal Palace from Chelsea for around £18million in 2021
According to the Mail Online both Man Utd and Liverpool are keen on joining the Gunners in their pursuit of the Englishman.
It is reported that Palace value the 22-year-old at £50million, which could put him out of reach for Liverpool who will focus their budget on improving their midfield.
Guehi is also said to be attracting interest from Arsenal’s North London neighbours Tottenham.
He has featured in all but one of Crystal Palace’s league games this season and has helped them keep nine clean sheets in the process.
The young defender has already been capped three times for the England senior team and will be hoping to be part of Gareth Southgate’s upcoming squad announcement on Thursday.
It has been reported that Palace will not decide the future of any of their players before they have a new manager in place, so those interested in the former Chelsea man will have to wait.
It is unknown who will be in charge at Selhurst Park for the start of next season after Patrick Vieira was replaced by Roy Hodgson on a temporary basis.
Guehi’s current contract isn’t due to expire until 2026 so the Eagles will be in no rush to make a decision.

Manchester United could be interested in bringing in Guehi, who joined Palace for around £18m from Cheslea in 2021, in the hopes of signing a long-term partner for Lisandro Martinez.
The Red Devils currently have both Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane, who are over the age of 30.
Any potential takeover at Old Trafford could also make for an even bigger transfer kitty.
