Chelsea are in talks to re-sign Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi this January transfer window.
Chelsea have opened preliminary talks to re-sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi . The centre-back, 24, is the number one priority for the Blues this month as they work on strengthening their defence. It is understood that Guehi is “keen” to rejoin Chelsea – three and a half years after he was sold to Crystal Palace for a fee of £18million.
Enzo Maresca’s side have been hit by injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile in recent weeks and the double blow looks set to force them into the market in the January transfer window. Chelsea have already recalled teenager Aarón Anselmino from his Boca Juniors loan but look set to move for further reinforcements. Guehi is captain at Crystal Palace and has made 23 appearances across all competitions so far in the 2024-25 campaign.He has started in all of those outings, missing only the home win over Southampton in December through suspension. The 24-year-old, who has racked up 134 Palace appearances, is under contract at Selhurst Park until June 2026. Guehi boosted his reputation with a starring role for England at Euro 2024 last year and was the subject of a failed transfer bid from Newcastle in the summer window.Chelsea sit fourth in the Premier League and are 10 points adrift of league leaders Liverpool after drawing 1-1 away at Palace on Saturday (4 January). Maresca’s side are favourites to lift the Uefa Conference League this term and start their FA Cup campaign against Morecambe this weekend (11 January)
