Marc Guehi's time at Crystal Palace looks set to come to an end as he is set to be at the centre of transfer drama in the January transfer window. After coming close to a move to Liverpool last summer, only to see the deal fall through at the last minute, Marc Guehi's future at Selhurst Park remains very much in doubt. With the player approaching the final six months of his contract, Crystal Palace are open to offers, worried about losing their captain for nothing in the summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are one of the leading candidates to secure his signature. Sources in the agent industry have informed that Thomas Frank's side are looking to strengthen their defensive options and Guehi's expiring contract makes him an attractive and economical target.
Spurs believe the 25-year-old can bring leadership and stability to their defence, while the reduced transfer fee fits into their budget for mid-season reinforcements.
However, the race for Marc Guehi extends beyond English football. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also considering offers in January, while sources close to the player suggest he is open to proving himself in La Liga. Guehi has urged his representatives to keep communications open with Real Madrid in particular.
Liverpool also continue to be interested in the Crystal Palace defender, seeing him as a long-term solution to their defence. Manchester City and Manchester United are monitoring the situation, with City looking to renew their ageing defence and United seeing Marc Guehi as a potential successor to Harry Maguire.
Crystal Palace have admitted that it is impossible to sign Guehi on a long-term deal and are prepared to negotiate offers in the region of €20-30m. It appears that Marc Guehi's departure from Crystal Palace is more a matter of 'when' than 'if', with top Premier League clubs circling and interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
