Interest from Manchester United and others
Crystal Palace is bracing for the potential departure of defender Marc Guehi this summer, with Manchester United and other Premier League giants showing interest in the 23-year-old.
Shortlist of replacements
The Eagles have already started compiling a list of potential candidates to replace Guehi, who has attracted attention from United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham.
Uncertain future
Guehi, who joined Palace from Chelsea in 2021, has only two years left on his contract, making this summer a crucial time for the club to secure a significant fee for his services.
Key role for potential departure
Any potential bid for Guehi is likely to be influenced by the appointment of proposed sporting director Dan Ashworth, with his status at Newcastle playing a key role in the transfer decision.
Injury update and future prospects
Despite dealing with a knee injury, Guehi is expected to be available for Euro 2024 under England manager Gareth Southgate, as new Palace manager Oliver Glasner faces a challenge in retaining key players like Guehi, Eberechi Eze, and Michael Olise.
