The Chelsea has taken a firm step in the race to sign Marc Guehi, the central defender from Crystal Palace, whose contract expires in the summer of 2026.

The Blues seek to take advantage of the opportunity to add him without a transfer fee under the Bosman rule, although the player is also on the radar of teams like Liverpool, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Manchester United.

Marc Guehi, a top priority for Chelsea

The Stamford Bridge club sees Guehi as the ideal reinforcement for their defense, especially because he was trained at Cobham, Chelsea's prestigious academy. According to reports from TBR Football, the board hopes to convince the English international with an appealing sports project and the return to the Champions League, which would set them apart from their competitors.

The move is strategic: Chelsea does not plan to pursue him in January and prefers to wait until summer to negotiate directly with the player. The savings from a multimillion-pound transfer, valued at around £35 million last year, reinforce the Blues' decision.

Fierce competition: Liverpool and Real Madrid on the prowl

Liverpool was very close to signing Marc Guehi on the last day of the market, but the deal was called off by Crystal Palace due to not finding a replacement. The Reds are still considered favorites as they need to strengthen the center of defense for the 2026/27 season.

Real Madrid is also in the contention, aiming to fortify their defense due to the age of players like Rüdiger and Alaba, whose contracts expire in the summer of 2026, as well as the physical inconsistency of Militao. A lucrative contract is reportedly on the table to attract the English center-back.

Meanwhile, Manchester City and Arsenal continue to monitor his contractual situation, albeit without significant movements to date.

Since joining Crystal Palace in 2021, Marc Guehi has played in over 100 official matches and has established himself as one of the most reliable defenders in the Premier League. His strength in aerial duels and ability to play out from the back have made him a highly sought-after profile in the market.

Furthermore, his consistency has earned him a place in the English national team, where he already has accumulated ten caps and was part of the squad that competed in Euro 2024.

A meaningful return for the Blues

The potential return of Marc Guehi to Stamford Bridge is seen as a natural move for Chelsea, aiming to strengthen its identity with players developed in its youth system. Moreover, the opportunity to acquire a top-level defender without a transfer fee is a chance hard to miss in an increasingly inflated market.

The final decision rests with Guehi, who will have to choose between returning to the club where he grew, joining Liverpool's tradition at Anfield, or taking on the challenge of becoming a key player at Real Madrid.

One thing is certain: the summer of 2026 will be a turning point in the career of Marc Guehi, with several European giants vying to secure his signing.
